UNSPSC 42181925: Tissue oximeter

A non invasive device used to measure tissue oxygen saturation (StO2). Can be used postoperatively to monitor the perfusion of tissues following breast reconstruction surgery or other events.

UNSPSC 42181925 Tissue oximeter is a Commodity code that represents specialized diagnostic and monitoring equipment used in healthcare settings, though recent state and local procurement under this code does not align closely with the tissue oximeter product category. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; instead, the tagged opportunities span unrelated medical devices including automated external defibrillators, ultrasonic imaging systems, laboratory wipe test counters, bariatric scales, and durable medical equipment systems. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health agencies (California), county school districts (Cobb County, Georgia), county governments (Collier County, Florida), and independent school districts (Klein ISD, Texas), indicating mixed demand across education and healthcare sectors. Cooperative purchasing vehicles also appear—Sourcewell (Minnesota state entity) issued a multistate law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating counties and public entities.

Geographic activity centers on California (six of nine opportunities identified), with secondary activity in Georgia, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Cobb County School District RFQ Q27009 for AED equipment and accessories due July 6, 2026 (estimated $50,000 expenditure); the State of California RFB 26201013 for a brand-only Silverstone RGB Ophthalmic Ultrasonic Imaging System due June 16, 2026; and the State of California RFB 26200712 for bariatric scales due March 25, 2026. California's solicitations typically require Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) compliance and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement execution. The mismatch between the tissue oximeter code designation and the actual equipment being procured suggests either tagging inconsistency in the state and local system or a fundamental disconnect in how this commodity code is being applied in practice.
