In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a customized computer monitor that displays apnea specific levels.

UNSPSC 42271501 Apnea monitors is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses a broader range of medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment than the code name alone suggests. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring handheld video laryngoscopes, ophthalmic instruments and accessories, and other specialized medical devices through both single-source and competitive procurement vehicles. The issuing bodies include county health departments and specialty medical centers (Collier County, Florida; County of Santa Clara, California) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities through standardized contracts. Work being solicited ranges from capital equipment acquisition with associated consumables and service agreements to three-year supply and maintenance contracts for ophthalmic departments.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in California and Florida based on recent postings. Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source procurement (PUR17682) for GlideScope Go 2 handheld video laryngoscopes and related accessories from Verathon Inc., with a challenge deadline of May 11, 2026, and contract term running through September 30, 2029. The County of Santa Clara, California solicited bids through ITB-PRC-FY26-0664 for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories to supply the Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department and other county departments, with bids due July 10, 2026, and a three-year contract term; the ITB required all-or-none bidding on line items and pre-bid conference participation was highly recommended. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, also issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple county participants across Washington state and other jurisdictions, due June 16, 2026, though this posting appears tangentially related to the code's nominal scope and may reflect a miscoding.
