UNSPSC 42201828 Medical x-ray apparatus filters (Commodity) covers specialized diagnostic and security imaging equipment and services that state and local governments procure to support clinical education, security operations, and healthcare delivery. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code to tag purchases of x-ray simulation systems for radiologic technology education, maintenance agreements for proprietary x-ray inspection systems, and associated repair and support services rather than filters alone. Issuing bodies span state higher-education institutions (Colorado Northwestern Community College, Georgia Northwestern Technical College, Texas A&M University System), county aviation departments (Broward County Aviation Department), school districts (Polk County Schools, Florida), state corrections agencies (Illinois Department of Corrections), and community colleges (Valencia College, Florida). These buyers source equipment directly from manufacturers or authorized distributors, with many procurements structured as sole-source or sole-brand designations when proprietary systems (Rapiscan, Philips Affiniti, GE LOGIQ, VMI Spectrum, LineV Clearpass) are involved.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. Colorado Northwestern Community College posted four separate Documented Quote solicitations in April 2026 (DQ1GJTA20260004101 through 20260004104, response due April 16, 2026) for a non-radiographic x-ray simulator unit budgeted at $35,000 to expand its Radiologic Technology program. Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI (BLD2132311F1, responses due July 28, 2026) to determine whether maintenance services for Rapiscan 600, 900, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini x-ray systems are available from sources other than the sole-source manufacturer. The School Board of Polk County, Florida posted an RFP (SS13MJ0426, due March 9, 2026) for provision, installation, calibration, training, and warranty support of a VMI Spectrum 6040 C x-ray inspection system. Illinois Department of Corrections issued an ITB (26426DOCCENTOB50677, due February 11, 2026) for a one-year comprehensive service and maintenance agreement covering six LineV Clearpass Full Body Scanning Systems across six correctional facilities, with response-time requirements of 48 hours for routine requests and 24 hours for emergencies. Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses receive a 5 percent pricing preference under several Colorado procurements; the Illinois contract includes a $15 minority contractor initiative fee for contracts valued at $1,000 or more. The code sees ongoing activity for equipment acquisition and service support but shows no recent filter-specific procurements.
