UNSPSC 42182316: Evoked response detectors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an Evoked response detector in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Evoked response detectors under 21 CFR 882.187, and under FDA product code NTU. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42182316 Evoked response detectors (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this code. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code—two NASPO ValuePoint medical-supplies master-agreements and one Sourcewell law-enforcement-equipment cooperative procurement—all solicit products outside the scope of evoked response detection equipment. No recent state and local solicitations for actual evoked response detectors (devices used to measure involuntary physiological responses in clinical or diagnostic settings) appear in the available posting record. The medical-supplies RFPs establish framework agreements for distributed procurement across participating state and local entities, while the law-enforcement RFP covers equipment for first-responder use—neither category encompasses diagnostic or clinical neurotechnology.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The mismatch between the nominal commodity definition and the posted opportunities suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation or a data-classification gap in how state and local procurement systems tag health-technology purchases. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing bodies (Idaho, South Dakota, and Minnesota via Sourcewell) whether evoked response detectors are included in the medical-supplies or law-enforcement frameworks, or whether future dedicated solicitations for this equipment type are planned. Without evidence of active demand under this specific code, pursuit should be conditional on confirming that end-user agencies—state health departments, forensic laboratories, or public safety training facilities—have incorporated evoked response detection into their procurement strategies.
