UNSPSC 42201849: Fluorescent scanners

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a fluorescent scanner in a pathological procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902214.

UNSPSC 42201849 Fluorescent scanners is a Commodity code with significant scope mismatch between the code's nominal classification and the work actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve radiologic and medical imaging equipment procurement rather than fluorescent scanners per se: Maricopa County is seeking radiologic equipment and installation for college locations (IFB 362910, due October 22, 2026); Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is bidding a Precision X-Ray SmART+ preclinical imaging and irradiation system package including collimators, service, and installation (IFB 739-SL3825170, due September 11, 2026); CommUnityCare in Travis County, Texas is procuring cart-based and handheld point-of-care ultrasound equipment with Epic EHR integration, maintenance, and training (RFP 202605001, due June 11, 2026). Issuing bodies include county governments, higher-education institutions, and nonprofit healthcare providers. The code's activity is driven primarily by Texas and Washington jurisdictions, with Arizona representing secondary activity.

The geographic spread skews toward Texas, which hosts three of the four recent opportunities. Washington State's Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), though this opportunity involves physician-supervised medical examinations rather than diagnostic imaging equipment and appears misaligned with the code's scope. Recent opportunities in the category emphasize turnkey system procurement including equipment, installation, training, service contracts, and EHR system integration rather than equipment alone, with evaluation criteria weighing total cost of ownership, vendor healthcare reputation, and compatibility with existing clinical systems. Bid response windows are compressed — the Texas Tech and CommUnityCare opportunities closed in June and September 2026 respectively, while Maricopa County's radiologic equipment solicitation remains open through October 22, 2026.
