UNSPSC 42201821: Radiographic film cassette holders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a cassette holder for radiographic film used in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902214.

UNSPSC 42201821 Radiographic film cassette holders is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under this classification reflects a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. Broward County Aviation Department posted an RFI on June 25, 2026, regarding maintenance services for Rapiscan and VOTI X-ray inspection systems — equipment used in cargo and baggage screening at aviation facilities. The solicitation addresses inspection, repair, and servicing of proprietary X-ray systems rather than the passive film cassette holders the code nominally describes. The County has designated the procurement as a potential sole-source or sole-brand acquisition because the systems are proprietary, licensed, and warranted exclusively by Rapiscan, though the RFI invites vendors to demonstrate capability to meet the County's requirements or to contest the sole-source designation by proposing comparable alternate systems. The work involves highly specialized maintenance of complex X-ray technology.

The source provides a single recent opportunity, limiting visibility into the geographic spread and frequency of activity under this code. Broward County Aviation Department in Florida is the issuing body identified. Responses to the RFI are due July 28, 2026. The narrow activity window and the mismatch between the code's name and the actual scope of work solicited suggest this code sees limited relevant state and local procurement activity, or is being misclassified by issuing bodies for aerospace and aviation security equipment and services that fall outside the radiographic film cassette holder taxonomy.
