UNSPSC 42182102 Hand held dopplers is a Commodity code that encompasses portable ultrasound and Doppler diagnostic equipment procured by state and local healthcare, fire, and emergency response entities. State and local governments acquire handheld dopplers as medical diagnostic devices for emergency medical services, fire departments, hospitals, and public health programs, typically as components of broader medical equipment and supplies contracts rather than as standalone solicitations. The mix of issuing bodies spans county fire and rescue services, municipal fire departments, and county health systems, with procurement vehicles ranging from competitive bid-and-award to sole source justifications based on system compatibility and clinical validation. Most activity centers on departments of public safety and emergency response agencies that deploy doppler equipment in the field.

Recent opportunities show this code sees minimal direct targeting in current state and local procurement. Of five recent opportunities reviewed, one directly addresses the code: Hillsborough County, Florida's sole source procurement notice (SS2600228, posted April 6, 2026, due April 13, 2026) for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and compatible hoses for the Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator system used by Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, with an estimated contract value of $44,385 for a nine-month term through December 31, 2026. A second opportunity—the City of Tampa's medical and first aid supplies invitation to bid (26-P-00145, posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division—spans a broader commodity family that may include related diagnostic equipment; the estimated contract value is $700,000 with a one-year base and two optional one-year renewals, and the procurement is sheltered for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. Activity in this code is concentrated in Florida and Texas jurisdictions, though the overall volume of dedicated handheld doppler solicitations appears light relative to broader medical equipment and supplies procurement.
