UNSPSC 42201501: Medical computed tomography CT or CAT stationary units

in this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a stationary device used in a medical computed tomography procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42201501 Medical computed tomography CT or CAT stationary units is a Commodity code covering diagnostic imaging equipment procurement by state and local health systems, correctional facilities, and other public sector medical providers. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments are acquiring both stationary and mobile CT units for direct clinical operation, staffed with licensed technologists and radiologists. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services' mobile CT and MRI procurement exemplifies the scope: the agency is seeking self-contained 64-slice CT equipment with full operational licensing, qualified personnel, and documented quality-assurance protocols for use at a correctional facility. State health departments, correctional systems, and county health agencies drive demand under this code, with responses concentrated among imaging equipment vendors and service providers capable of meeting clinical certification, insurance, and personnel credentialing requirements.

The most substantial recent activity appears in Utah, where the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) issued RFP DHHS26117 for mobile CT and MRI services due July 31, 2026, with a five-year contract term. The solicitation allocates 70 percent of scoring to technical criteria—including equipment certification, radiologist interpretation capability, and scheduling compliance—and 30 percent to cost, with unit pricing required across 44 procedure line items keyed to CPT codes. A second opportunity, Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP 061626 issued May 12, 2026 and due June 16, 2026, nominally addresses law enforcement equipment but does not specify medical imaging within the available documentation, suggesting limited direct relevance to this Commodity code. Broader geographic activity under the code is not evident from the recent opportunities block.
