UNSPSC 42201705 Medical ultrasound or doppler or echocardiograph probe covers, a Commodity code, encompasses acquisition of ultrasound equipment accessories and related diagnostic imaging devices by state and local health authorities, educational institutions, and healthcare systems. State and local governments procure probe covers, protective accessories, and standalone ultrasound units (cart-based and handheld point-of-care devices) for occupational health programs, veterinary services, and clinical care delivery across primary care and specialty settings. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments managing occupational health compliance, university systems purchasing for veterinary and research operations, and nonprofit community health centers serving as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). The Washington State Department of Transportation and University of Wisconsin-Madison appear as recent buyers, with mixed issuing-body participation spanning state agencies, higher education, and nonprofit healthcare providers.

Recent activity concentrates in Washington and Texas, with the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations—a two-year contract with extension options—and CommUnityCare's RFP202605001 (due June 11, 2026) in Austin, Texas, soliciting mixed cart-based and handheld ultrasound equipment with Epic EHR integration, maintenance, and training. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted a veterinary ultrasound units RFB (2027-UWMSN-01412-RFB, due July 30, 2026) with limited scope detail available. The code shows sparse activity under its nominal commodity definition; the Washington State Department of Transportation opportunity addresses occupational medical examinations rather than probe covers or imaging equipment, and the veterinary and point-of-care opportunities diverge from the code's stated scope around protective accessories.
