UNSPSC 42201844 Medical diagnostic x ray rulers is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag procurement of occupational and diagnostic medical examination services, though recent activity shows the code applied to solicitations for occupational health surveillance and X-ray system maintenance services — a significant mismatch with the code's nominal scope of x-ray rulers as tangible equipment. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of transportation operating ferries and county aviation authorities overseeing airport security operations. The work being procured spans occupational medical examinations (baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit evaluations for maritime workers) and maintenance and repair services for proprietary X-ray inspection systems used in transportation security screening.

Recent activity appears limited to two jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services through Washington State Ferries, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the scope covers examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington State ferry locations, with a two-year contract term and optional five one-year extensions, cost-based scoring weighting pricing at 40 percent and non-cost capability factors at 60 percent. Broward County Aviation Department posted RFI BLD2132311F1 on June 25, 2026, with responses due July 28, 2026, to determine sole-source designation for maintenance services on Rapiscan 600 and 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini X-ray inspection systems — a notice of intent to procure that invites vendors to contest proprietary single-source claims or demonstrate comparable multi-source alternatives. The code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity and appears misaligned with the underlying commodity classification.
