UNSPSC 42201612 Nuclear magnetic resonance NMR spectroscopic systems is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not see substantive buying aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services—concerns baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington State locations, with examinations to be performed by or under the supervision of a licensed physician board-certified in occupational medicine. This work involves occupational health program administration, regulatory compliance (Washington State occupational health standards and HIPAA), and medical record management, but does not involve NMR spectroscopy or related analytical instrumentation. The issuing body is a state transportation agency (WSDOT acting on behalf of Washington State Ferries), a healthcare procurement context rather than a laboratory or research instrumentation purchase.

The geographic activity is limited to Washington State, reflecting the ferry system's operational footprint. The RFP, posted August 25, 2026 with a due date of October 9, 2026, uses cost-based scoring (40 percent price, 60 percent non-cost capability factors), includes a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, and anticipates contract award by November 30, 2026. A voluntary Subcontractor Inclusion Plan is available. This code shows little relevant recent activity; the single tagged opportunity appears misclassified against the UNSPSC category definition.
