UNSPSC 42182703: Patient height rulers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument to measure the height of a patient in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Patient height rulers under 21 CFR 879.48 and under FDA product code FTY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42182703 Patient height rulers is a Commodity code that covers measurement and assessment instruments used in healthcare, clinical, and public health settings. The recent state and local activity under this code, however, shows a significant scope mismatch. The single recent opportunity posted under the code is Sourcewell's RFP #061626, issued on behalf of a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, which solicits law enforcement equipment rather than medical measurement devices. This divergence suggests the code either has been misapplied to the law enforcement solicitation or sees minimal actual procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The issuing body in the recent record is Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative operating under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), which aggregates demand across participating counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima in Washington) and numerous public entities nationwide and in Canada. No issuing bodies specifically procuring patient height rulers under their own authority appear in the recent-opportunities block.

The geographic scope of the Sourcewell cooperative spans Washington state and multiple jurisdictions across the United States and Canada, though the posted opportunity does not target patient height rulers as a distinct procurement category. The RFP #061626 closed June 16, 2026 and was structured to establish a framework agreement for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. Because the code shows no recent opportunities clearly aligned with patient height rulers or medical measurement equipment procurement, state and local procurement activity under this specific Commodity code is not currently evident in the available record.
