UNSPSC 42182408: Electrocochleographs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that uses a technique of recording electrical potentials generated in the inner ear and auditory nerve in response to sound stimulation in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42182408 Electrocochleographs is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no activity actually buying electrocochleographs or related auditory diagnostic equipment. The three most recent solicitations tracked under this code span occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), special education supplies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas), and audio-visual systems for municipal facilities (City of St. Marys, Georgia). None of these procurements involves electrocochleographs, which are diagnostic instruments for measuring electrical potentials in the inner ear. The code appears to be either misapplied to these opportunities in the source data or reflects administrative tagging errors in the jurisdictions' procurement systems. Absent evidence of state and local governments actually soliciting electrocochleographs, this code shows no relevant recent activity for business development purposes.

The geographic footprint of the three tagged opportunities spans Washington, Texas, and Georgia, with issuing bodies including a state transportation agency (WSDOT), a regional cooperative purchasing organization (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and a municipal government (City of St. Marys). The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is the only opportunity whose scope—occupational health examinations for maritime workers—could theoretically involve diagnostic audiology or hearing tests, though the solicitation does not mention electrocochleographs or specify that occupational medicine vendors must provide or interpret auditory diagnostics. Without solicitations actually requesting electrocochleograph procurement, equipment installation, maintenance, or interpretation services, this code does not present a workable pursuit opportunity at this time.
