UNSPSC 41151613: Beta or gamma counter for clinical use

In this classification a beta or gamma counter for clinical use is a device intended to detect and count beta or gamma radiation emitted by clinical samples. Clinical samples are prepared by addition of a radioactive reagent to the sample. These measurements are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders US FDA regulates Beta or gamma counter for clinical use under 21 CFR 862.2320 and under FDA product code JJJ.

UNSPSC 41151613 Beta or gamma counter for clinical use is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity in the source. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span research instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and specialized systems across universities and state agencies, but none involve clinical radiation detection or counting equipment matching the code's nominal scope. Mississippi State University dominates the recent opportunities, issuing dozens of sole-source notices for equipment ranging from microscopes and spectrometers to additive manufacturing systems and agricultural research devices. The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas State University, and Midwestern State University also appear multiple times. State-level procurements from Mississippi, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas round out the issuing-body mix. Geographic concentration in recent activity centers on Mississippi (particularly Mississippi State University in Starkville), with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Oregon.

The code shows no recent relevant activity aligned to its intended commodity name. A representative sampling of recent opportunities includes Mississippi State University's sole-source request for a Keyence VHX 7100 digital microscope (IFB, October 23, 2026), the University of Southern Mississippi's IFB for a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (October 22, 2026), and University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB for high-speed scientific cameras and RF-shielded anechoic chambers (August 2026). The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Illinois State Police Department pursued dilution systems and Rapid DNA cartridges respectively, while Harris County, Texas solicited a unit-dose packaging system and the State of Oregon approved sole-source procurements for X-ray and spectrometry equipment. The fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical radiation-detection focus and the actual procurement category captured here suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code has been repurposed in practice to cover a broader range of laboratory and research instrumentation for which no more precise UNSPSC classification exists in the taxonomy.
