UNSPSC 42202106 Manual radionuclide applicator systems or guides is a Commodity code covering specialized equipment used in radiation therapy and brachytherapy procedures. State and local governments purchase these systems primarily through health care procurement channels — hospital systems, cancer treatment centers, and public health departments acquire manual applicators and guides for clinical use in cancer treatment. The equipment includes applicator devices, loading systems, and positioning guides designed for precision placement of radioactive sources in patient treatment. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly public hospital systems, regional cancer centers, and state health care facilities that operate treatment programs requiring manual brachytherapy equipment.

The source does not contain recent state and local solicitation records for this code. Without posted opportunities or active purchasing signals in the available data, market activity under this Commodity code cannot be characterized by geography, issuing-body concentration, or representative recent bids. Firms evaluating this code should monitor hospital procurement channels, state cancer center RFPs, and health care cooperative purchasing vehicles for opportunities, as the specialized clinical nature of manual radionuclide applicators typically generates lower-frequency, higher-value solicitations tied to cancer center capital equipment cycles rather than routine purchasing.
