UNSPSC 42201846: Radiographic and fluoroscopic x ray collimators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that narrows a beam of particles or waves in a radiographic and fluoroscopic x ray procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Radiographic and fluoroscopic x ray collimators under 21 CFR 892.1610 and under FDA product code KPW. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902214.

UNSPSC 42201846 Radiographic and fluoroscopic x ray collimators (Commodity) covers specialized radiologic imaging and collimation equipment that state and local governments—particularly higher education and healthcare institutions—procure for diagnostic and research applications. Recent solicitations show the code in use for precision x-ray systems with collimator packages, radiologic equipment installation at educational facilities, and point-of-care ultrasound platforms with advanced imaging capabilities integrated into healthcare delivery networks. Issuing bodies include county community college systems, state university health science centers, state transportation departments, and nonprofit healthcare providers serving as Federally Qualified Health Centers. The scope spans equipment procurement, installation, commissioning, training, service contracts, and system integration with electronic health records and picture archiving systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Washington, with single opportunities also visible in Arizona. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center solicited a complete Precision X-Ray system package with five circular collimators and one square collimator (IFB 739-SL3825170, due September 11, 2026) and Central Texas Community Health Centers sought point-of-care ultrasound equipment with cart-based and handheld devices across 22 Travis County locations (RFP 2026-05-001, due June 11, 2026). Maricopa County issued an IFB for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges with a response due October 22, 2026 (IFB362910). The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), though this opportunity falls outside the collimator code's scope and reflects a tagging mismatch. Recent responses show healthcare and higher-education buyers evaluating on total long-term acquisition cost, vendor reputation, product quality, regulatory compliance, and system interoperability rather than price alone.
