UNSPSC 42182409: Hearing aid analyzers or test systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a system consisting of products, consumables and accessories that are used to execute a hearing aid analysis or test procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 903020.

UNSPSC 42182409 Hearing aid analyzers or test systems is a Commodity code that nominally covers diagnostic and testing equipment for hearing devices, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of hearing aid analyzers or related audiology equipment. Instead, the code shows activity in unrelated medical supplies and law enforcement equipment procurement. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1443 (posted October 6, 2026, due November 9, 2026) establishes a cooperative master agreement for broad medical supplies across multiple product categories for Idaho state agencies and other participating public entities, with vendors required to provide comprehensive product catalogs and competitive unit pricing. A second posting, Sourcewell RFP 061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026), procures law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle on behalf of Washington counties and public entities across the United States and Canada. These opportunities indicate significant misclassification—neither centers on hearing aid test systems or audiology diagnostics. The issuing bodies include state cooperative purchasing consortiums (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell) that aggregate demand across state and local government entities.

Geographic activity is spread across Idaho, South Dakota (as the administering state for the ValuePoint vehicle), Washington, and Minnesota (as the Sourcewell host), with the law enforcement solicitation extending to participating jurisdictions nationwide. The two November 9, 2026 deadline opportunities are the most recent; vendors responding should note that the NASPO ValuePoint RFP accepts submissions through Idaho's procurement system or the ValuePoint website, and the Sourcewell solicitation requires submission exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No hearing-aid-specific solicitations appear in the recent record, suggesting this Commodity code may be incorrectly tagged in current state and local procurement databases and warrants verification before bid pursuit.
