UNSPSC 42181803: Pulse oximeter probes or sensors

In this classification, this commodity indicates the probes or sensors used in association with a product that records the level of oxygen saturation in a human. US FDA regulates Pulse oximeter probes or sensors under 21 CFR 864.75 and under FDA product code DPZ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42181803 Pulse oximeter probes or sensors is a Commodity code covering specialized medical diagnostic equipment components that state and local health care systems, first-responder agencies, and public health facilities procure for patient monitoring and clinical assessment. The code appears in state and local procurement activity primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional contracting arrangements that aggregate demand across numerous governmental entities.

Recent activity under this code flows through Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative that establishes master contracting vehicles for its Participating Entities. Sourcewell issued RFP 26RFP102026 (posted September 1, 2026, due October 20, 2026) for Physical Health Products and Related Services, a broad solicitation establishing a contracting solution for health care products available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The same contracting mechanism appears in Sourcewell RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026), which similarly creates a multi-jurisdictional purchasing vehicle accessible to participating entities in Washington state and beyond, though law enforcement equipment appears tangential to the pulse oximeter commodity scope. Both solicitations require vendor submission through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal and reflect the cooperative purchasing model common in state and local procurement, where a single RFP establishes a contracting framework available for use by multiple jurisdictions and entity types rather than a single agency. Geographic activity centers on Minnesota and Washington, with the cooperative structure extending reach across participating entities nationwide. No estimated contract values, incumbent vendors, or set-aside designations appear in the available solicitation materials.
