UNSPSC 42181801: Pulse oximeter units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that records the level of oxygen saturation in a human. US FDA regulates Pulse oximeter units under 21 CFR 864. 750 and under FDA product code DPZ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42181801 Pulse oximeter units is a Commodity code that currently shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP and a Klein Independent School District career technical education equipment procurement—do not reflect demand for pulse oximeters specifically. The Sourcewell solicitation (#061626, due June 16, 2026) targets law enforcement agencies and public entities across the United States and Canada seeking broad law enforcement equipment solutions through a multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing framework, while Klein ISD's RFP #26-101 (due June 5, 2026) covers career and technical education instructional resources, equipment, and materials across 17 program areas including STEM, health sciences, and skilled trades. Neither opportunity indicates procurement of medical monitoring devices or pulse oximeter-specific demand.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Washington State (through Sourcewell's participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and Texas (Klein ISD in Harris County), though the Sourcewell vehicle extends nationally. State and local buyers do not appear to be actively soliciting pulse oximeters as a standalone commodity at present; procurement tagged under this code does not reflect typical state and local health systems purchasing, emergency medical services supply chains, or school health office equipment procurement. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities in future cycles align more closely with medical device acquisition before investing pursuit effort on this Commodity code.
