UNSPSC 42182101: Electronic stethoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument used for listening to sounds produced within the body in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Electronic stethoscopes under 21 CFR 868.1920 and under FDA product code BZT. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42182101 Electronic stethoscopes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of electronic stethoscopes or related diagnostic medical devices. Instead, the tagged solicitations span institutional fire-suppression system replacement, broad medical-supplies cooperative purchasing frameworks, and law-enforcement equipment — none of which are stethoscopes or stethoscope-adjacent products. The code mismatch suggests either misfiling by issuing bodies or that electronic stethoscopes remain a niche procurement at the state and local level.

The three medical-supplies and law-enforcement opportunities that carry this code tag represent cooperative purchasing vehicles and specialized construction work rather than direct device procurement. Collin County, Texas posted an IFB for sprinkler-head replacement in its jail facility (IFB 2026-389, due November 19, 2026, estimated cost $150,000); NASPO ValuePoint and Idaho state agencies jointly solicited a master-agreement RFP for medical supplies across multiple categories (RFP 1433, proposals due November 9, 2026); and Sourcewell solicited law-enforcement equipment under RFP 061626 on behalf of participating entities in Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions (due June 16, 2026). These opportunities reveal no specific demand for electronic stethoscopes within the state and local market segment. Business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with individual issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this code, as the recent activity does not support procurement of electronic diagnostic devices.
