UNSPSC 42181724: Electrocardiography EKG transmitter or telemetry accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral transmitter or telemetry accessories for a product that can record and measure electronic waves generated from the heart of a human. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181724 Electrocardiography EKG transmitter or telemetry accessories, a Commodity code, encompasses EKG telemetry transmission equipment and related accessories that state and local governments procure for emergency medical services, hospital systems, and first-responder networks. The code captures devices that enable real-time cardiac monitoring data transmission between field personnel and receiving facilities, essential infrastructure for ambulance services, fire departments, and emergency departments. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services departments, county emergency services coordinators, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing consortia that aggregate demand across multiple participating jurisdictions and public entities.

Recent solicitation activity shows two distinct procurement vehicles. Texas posted NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP1443 on behalf of Idaho state agencies through the cooperative purchasing consortium on October 6, 2026, with proposals due November 9, 2026; the RFP establishes a medical supplies framework including EKG and telemetry equipment across multiple categories, with pricing and terms to be drawn from individual agency budgets as items are ordered. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, serving participating counties in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities nationwide; while the primary scope targets law enforcement, the RFP's broad equipment framing likely encompasses emergency communications and medical response tools. The Idaho and Minnesota cooperative vehicles indicate that EKG telemetry procurement increasingly flows through multi-state purchasing consortia rather than individual agency competitive bidding, concentrating vendor contact points and extending geographic reach across participating entities.
