UNSPSC 42181800: Pulse oximeters

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in pulse oximeter based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42181800 Pulse oximeters is a Class code that encompasses portable and stationary oxygen-saturation measurement devices used by state and local health departments, hospitals, emergency services, and school districts. The recent solicitation activity under this code, however, shows little direct procurement of pulse oximeters themselves; instead, the code appears in broader cooperative purchasing vehicles for physical health products and law enforcement equipment that may include pulse oximeters as ancillary items rather than primary procurements. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly cooperative purchasing authorities and regional service cooperatives that establish multi-jurisdictional contracting solutions, with Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative) appearing as the issuing body in recent opportunities.

Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing activity dominates recent postings under this code, with venues spanning Minnesota and participating jurisdictions across Washington state, the broader United States, and Canada. The most recent opportunity is Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP102026 for Physical Health Products and Related Services, with proposals due October 20, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; a second recent RFP (#061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment closed June 16, 2026 and included participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state alongside numerous other public entities. Both opportunities establish contracting vehicles available to Sourcewell's Participating Entities rather than single-agency procurements, indicating that direct pulse oximeter procurement under this code is likely subordinate to broader health-products or emergency-equipment frameworks rather than standalone solicitations.
