UNSPSC 42181731: Reprocessed/ sustainable electrocardiography ECG/EKG cables or lead wires

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral Sustainable (made with recycled materials) or Reprocessed (Reprocessing medical devices is a process that involves cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and other procedures to make used devices safe for reuse) cables or leads for a product that can record and measure electronic waves generated from the heart of a human.

UNSPSC 42181731 Reprocessed/sustainable electrocardiography ECG/EKG cables or lead wires is a Commodity code that covers replacement and remanufactured cardiac monitoring cables and lead sets used in hospital, clinic, and emergency medical settings. State and local governments procure these cables as consumable replacements for diagnostic and patient-monitoring equipment, often through cooperative purchasing consortia that establish framework agreements with multiple vendors to serve participating public health agencies, emergency services, and hospital systems. The cables are typically sourced under medical supply or equipment maintenance contracts that bundle them with related electrocardiography consumables and may include specifications for biocompatibility, electrical safety, and reprocessing standards.

Recent sourcing activity under this code appears limited in the available record. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 posted by Texas on behalf of Idaho state agencies on October 6, 2026, with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishes a cooperative medical supplies framework through NASPO ValuePoint that encompasses multiple product categories including cables and lead wires; however, the summary provided does not isolate this specific commodity from the broader medical supplies scope. A second opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, with responses due June 16, 2026—falls outside the relevant scope and does not represent actual activity under this code. Geographic and issuing-body diversity cannot be reliably characterized from the available opportunities; the primary signal is participation through multi-state cooperative consortia (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) rather than direct procurements by individual jurisdictions. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell, and state health department medical supply solicitations for framework opportunities that bundle cardiac monitoring consumables alongside broader medical equipment categories.
