UNSPSC 42201854: Spot film devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that holds a thin sheet of material specially treated for use in photography or radiography procedures in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902214.

UNSPSC 42201854 Spot film devices is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect diagnostic imaging equipment or film devices. Instead, the code shows two unrelated procurement activities: occupational medical surveillance services from Washington State Ferries and X-ray inspection system maintenance from Broward County Aviation Department. Neither solicitation involves spot film devices or medical imaging consumables. The occupational medical surveillance RFP requires baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members conducted by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine across 14 Washington ferry locations. The Broward County RFI addresses maintenance services for proprietary Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems used for airport security screening, not diagnostic imaging. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The two opportunities reflect distinct issuing bodies and geographies. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP 20260825 with responses due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Broward County Aviation Department posted RFI BLD2132311F1 on June 25, 2026, with responses due July 28, 2026, to solicit information on whether X-ray maintenance services are available from sources other than Rapiscan or from alternative systems. Neither opportunity is germane to spot film device procurement, suggesting the code tagging reflects administrative misclassification rather than genuine procurement activity under the commodity category.
