UNSPSC 42201835: Medical x ray apparatus tube unit assemblies

UNSPSC 42201835 Medical x-ray apparatus tube unit assemblies is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities indexed under this code do not reflect actual purchasing of X-ray tube assemblies or related imaging equipment. Instead, the two opportunities on record involve occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation) and maintenance services for existing X-ray inspection systems (Broward County Aviation Department). Neither solicitation entails procurement of X-ray apparatus tubes, tube units, or tube assemblies. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code's definition and the work actually being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging these opportunities incorrectly, or that the code itself is not in active use for imaging equipment purchases at the state and local level. Firms evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of any RFP, RFQ, or IFB tagged with this UNSPSC number before pursuing, as the indexing does not reliably predict medical imaging equipment procurement activity.
