UNSPSC 42201728: Conductive gel, container

Container of conductive gels that are applied to the body of the patient to reduce its impedance to help facilitate the delivery of an electric shock. This gel provides a high conductive effect for clear and accurate recording and lower electrical artifacts (errors).

UNSPSC 42201728 Conductive gel, container is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement reflects minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), veterinary ultrasound equipment (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and point-of-care ultrasound equipment deployment (CommUnityCare, a nonprofit healthcare provider in Travis County, Texas). None of these solicitations explicitly reference conductive gel as a line item or primary deliverable. The medical surveillance RFP centers on licensed occupational-medicine physician services across multiple Washington State ferry locations; the veterinary ultrasound RFB seeks equipment units; and the healthcare ultrasound RFP emphasizes cart-based and handheld ultrasound machines with Epic EHR integration, training, and maintenance. Issuing bodies span a state transportation agency, a university system, and a nonprofit healthcare organization, indicating fragmented demand.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Washington State (the ferry medical surveillance contract) and Texas (the CommUnityCare ultrasound procurement), with a single university-level sourcing in Wisconsin. The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) closes October 9, 2026, with an apparent successful bidder announcement October 20, 2026 and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026. The CommUnityCare point-of-care ultrasound RFP (RFP202605001) closed June 11, 2026 and specifies total cost of ownership pricing covering equipment, accessories, warranty, preventative maintenance, training, and Epic integration. The code shows no clear recent activity matching conductive gel procurement specifically; the ultrasound-related opportunities may involve gel as an ancillary consumable, but the source does not enumerate it as a distinct procurement line or make it a decision-relevant evaluation factor.
