UNSPSC 42201856: Radiographic Electrocardiograph ECG respirator synchronizers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a respirator synchronizer in a radiological procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902214.

UNSPSC 42201856 Radiographic Electrocardiograph ECG respirator synchronizers is a Commodity code nominally targeting diagnostic imaging synchronization equipment, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show a mismatch between the code's narrow technical scope and the actual work being bought. Maricopa County and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center have posted opportunities for radiologic imaging equipment and preclinical imaging systems respectively, neither of which fall within the traditional definition of ECG respirator synchronizers. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation under this code requests occupational medical surveillance services — baseline and periodic medical examinations — which is fundamentally a medical services engagement unrelated to radiographic or electrocardiographic equipment. A fourth opportunity from CommUnityCare in Texas seeks point-of-care ultrasound equipment with cart-based and handheld devices. State and local buyers posting under this code span academic health systems, county health infrastructure programs, transit authorities, and community health centers, but the code appears to be consistently misapplied across these issuing bodies.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, Texas, and Washington, with postings spanning June through October 2026. Maricopa County's IFB 362910 for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges closed October 22, 2026. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center issued IFB 739-SL3825170 on September 4, 2026 for a Precision X-Ray Radiobiology/Preclinical Imaging and Irradiation System (bids due September 11, 2026 with HUB Subcontracting Plan required for expenditures exceeding $100,000). The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026. CommUnityCare in Travis County, Texas issued RFP 2026-05-001 for point-of-care ultrasound equipment with a June 11, 2026 response deadline. The code's misalignment with actual procurement scope suggests vendors should verify code assignment in solicitation text before pursuing opportunities tagged under 42201856.
