UNSPSC 42181733: Electrocardiography EKG diagnostic electrodes

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral patches used to complete electrode capabilities for a product that are specially designed for a diagnostic procedure. The product records and measure electronic waves from the human heart.

UNSPSC 42181733 Electrocardiography EKG diagnostic electrodes is a Commodity code covering single-use and reusable EKG electrodes used in diagnostic and emergency medical settings. State and local governments purchase EKG electrodes primarily through hospital procurement systems, county health departments, emergency medical services (EMS) agencies, and public health clinics. The available recent activity does not directly solicit EKG electrodes; instead, a single posted opportunity from Sourcewell—a Minnesota local government cooperative—issued an RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment (Solicitation #061626, due June 16, 2026). This misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the single recent opportunity suggests little current state and local procurement activity specifically targeting EKG diagnostic electrodes under this code.

The Sourcewell RFP is structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle open to participating entities across multiple states (including Washington, with specific activity noted in Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and extends to higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. However, law enforcement equipment does not match EKG electrode procurement, indicating the code may be misclassified on this opportunity or that EKG electrodes see limited recent solicitation through state and local channels covered by this dataset. The source provides no additional EKG-specific opportunities, no identified issuing-body repeats, and no geographic concentration data for the code's nominal scope.
