This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of cardiac rhythm, external approach. This measurement intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 4A02XFZ

UNSPSC 85822817 Measurement of cardiac rhythm, external approach is a Commodity code that captures electrocardiogram (EKG) interpretation and related cardiac monitoring services state and local governments purchase for inmate health, employee occupational screening, emergency medical services oversight, and public health programs. The code does not reflect recent state and local purchasing activity; instead, the most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve broader clinical service procurement spanning virtual urgent care, medical director services, employee health clinics, occupational health screening, EMS revenue billing, and public health initiatives that incidentally may include cardiac assessment as one component. The actual cardiac rhythm measurement work appearing in the recent opportunities record aligns with HHSC facilities seeking radiology and EKG read services, where the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is soliciting bids for electrocardiogram interpretation at 11 state hospitals and 13 State Supported Living Centers across Texas, with proposals due July 20, 2026.

State and local healthcare purchasing under this code spans health systems (notably HHSC and the County of Santa Clara), county detention and jail facilities, municipal fire departments, school districts, and county public health divisions. Geographic concentration emerges in Texas (HHSC procurement), California (San Mateo Medical Center, Santa Clara Health System), Florida (Seminole County EMS, City of Phoenix), Colorado (state health authority), and scattered county-level activity across Georgia, Kansas, and Arizona. Representative recent work includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitation for radiology and EKG reads at multiple state facilities under IFB HHS0017505 (due July 20, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services including medical record summary and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations under RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years). The Nevada Health Authority's Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly procurement under RFP 41NHA-S4038 (due December 10, 2026) includes physician services and diagnostic procedures as subordinate elements of comprehensive geriatric managed care. The code shows limited standalone cardiac rhythm measurement activity; most recent procurement integrates EKG interpretation into larger occupational health, emergency services medical direction, or inpatient hospital laboratory contracting.
