UNSPSC 42201818: Combination step wedges and spin tops for radiographic units

in this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a device used in an ophthalmic electrolysis procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902214.

UNSPSC 42201818 Combination step wedges and spin tops for radiographic units is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve maintenance and repair services for X-ray inspection systems rather than the physical radiographic calibration equipment the code nominally describes. The Broward County Aviation Department's June 2026 RFI sought to establish whether maintenance services for Rapiscan proprietary X-ray systems (600 series, 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini models) are available from vendors other than the manufacturer, or whether alternate systems could meet the County's operational needs. The scope covers inspection and repair services for highly specialized X-ray technology, characterized as complex work available only through sole-source or sole-brand arrangements due to proprietary licensing and warranty restrictions. This represents a significant mismatch between the code's abstract title—radiographic calibration wedges and tops—and what state and local government actually procures under the code's designation in practice.

The single recent opportunity identified is the Broward County Aviation Department RFI (BLD2132311F1), posted June 25, 2026, with responses due July 28, 2026. Responses require vendors to demonstrate capability to provide comparable maintenance services or to contest the sole-source designation through Broward County's electronic bidding system. The code shows minimal recent activity, and the single opportunity reflects a specialized, niche procurement area—airport X-ray equipment maintenance—rather than broader state and local radiographic supply demand. Geographic data is limited to Broward County, Florida, with no evidence of parallel solicitations in other jurisdictions under this code designation.
