UNSPSC 42182106: Stethoscopic phonocardiographs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a phonocardiograph that records all sound vibrations, audible and inaudible, conveyed by the stethoscope used in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42182106 Stethoscopic phonocardiographs, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialized cardiac auscultation devices — does not match the recent opportunities tagged under it. Of the five recent solicitations captured, only one involves medical equipment directly: Hillsborough County, Florida's sole source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs compatible with Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator systems, posted April 6, 2026, with a close date of April 13, 2026, and an estimated nine-month contract value of $44,385.00. The remaining four opportunities span law enforcement equipment through a Sourcewell cooperative vehicle (due June 16, 2026), K-12 career technical education and advanced academics instructional resources through Klein Independent School District in Texas (due June 5, 2026), construction security system upgrades for a detention facility in Collin County, Texas (due January 22, 2026, with probable cost of $3,300,000.00), and medical and first aid supplies for Tampa Fire Department Rescue through a small local business enterprise set-aside (due March 13, 2026, estimated at $700,000.00). These opportunities reflect state and local government purchasing of broad medical and fire rescue supplies rather than phonocardiographic equipment specifically.

The code shows activity across Florida, Texas, and Minnesota-anchored cooperatives, but geographic concentration is diffuse and driven by jurisdictions soliciting under misaligned categories. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue and the City of Tampa represent repeat buyers in the medical/rescue supply space, though neither procurement is directly tied to cardiac diagnostic devices. The sourcing pattern indicates that state and local agencies tag medical purchases inconsistently across UNSPSC codes, and stethoscopic phonocardiographs as a discrete product line do not appear in recent posted opportunities under this code. Firms pursuing this Commodity code should treat the tagged opportunities as false positives and monitor the code for corrections or genuine phonocardiograph demand signals, which are not evident in the current activity block.
