UNSPSC 42181730: Electrocardiography ECG/EKG single-patient uses cables or lead wires

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral Single-Patient cables, or leads for a product that can record and measure electronic waves generated from the heart of a human.

UNSPSC 42181730 Electrocardiography ECG/EKG single-patient uses cables or lead wires is a Commodity code that describes single-use or patient-specific ECG electrode cables and lead wire assemblies deployed in clinical and emergency settings. State and local governments purchase these consumable items primarily through health departments, county hospitals, municipal emergency medical services, and public health agencies that operate or supply clinical facilities. The work involves supplying standardized ECG lead cables meeting clinical specifications and typically includes packaging, sterilization certification, and documentation of biocompatibility and electrical safety compliance for each unit or lot.

Recent activity under this code shows limited volume, with recent state and local opportunities appearing sparse or misaligned with the code's specific scope. The most visible recent opportunity is NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443, posted October 6, 2026 with a response deadline of November 9, 2026, which Idaho state agencies and participating NASPO ValuePoint members are using to establish a cooperative purchasing framework for medical supplies across multiple product categories—of which ECG cables may represent one line item among many. Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626 (response due June 16, 2026) does not align with ECG cable procurement. Procurement activity under this code appears concentrated within cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than direct state or county solicitations, and the geographic and issuing-body mix is not yet clearly defined from recent opportunities posted.
