UNSPSC 42201857: Mammography compression paddles

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

UNSPSC 42201857 Mammography compression paddles is a Commodity code that nominally addresses specialized radiological equipment components, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope. The two recent solicitations in the source—CommUnityCare's RFP for point-of-care ultrasound systems and Michigan's RFP for a liquid scintillation counter—diverge substantially from mammography equipment procurement. CommUnityCare, a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center in Travis County, Texas, is soliciting mixed fleets of ultrasound machines (both cart-based and handheld) with Epic EHR and PACS integration, advanced imaging modes, and comprehensive training and maintenance services; this procurement emphasizes portability, battery life, and cybersecurity compliance rather than mammography-specific hardware. Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy is procuring a replacement liquid scintillation counter for radiological analysis, a laboratory instrument entirely distinct from clinical imaging equipment. Neither solicitation involves mammography compression paddles or related mammography system components.

The code shows no identifiable recent activity in state and local mammography procurement. The issuing bodies represented in the source—a nonprofit health center and a state environmental agency—do not reflect typical purchasers of mammography equipment components. Geographic representation is limited to Texas and Michigan, with no discernible concentration or pattern supporting active mammography procurement at the state and local level. Absent recent opportunities that match the code's nominal scope, the available evidence does not support active pursuit under this Commodity code.
