UNSPSC 42202201 Radiosurgical gamma knife collimators or helmets (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The code's technical name references radiosurgical equipment — specialized medical devices used in stereotactic radiation therapy — yet the two recent opportunities tagged to this code are procuring occupational medical surveillance services and protective safety helmets for law enforcement, neither of which relate to radiosurgical equipment. State and local procurement offices appear to be applying this code to general protective headgear and occupational health services rather than to radiosurgical apparatus. The actual work being solicited under the code's current tagging consists of protective equipment procurement (specifically, WRAP Safety Restraints with Protective Helmets) and occupational health examination and record management services aligned with Washington State regulatory frameworks.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include a state transportation agency — Washington State Department of Transportation, acting on behalf of the Washington State Ferries — and a municipal purchasing office (Salt Lake City Corporation's Purchasing & Contracts Division). The Washington State Ferries opportunity (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) sought occupational medical surveillance services, including baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington State ferry terminals, with examinations to be performed by or under the supervision of a board-certified occupational medicine physician. Salt Lake City Corporation's Purchasing & Contracts Division (RFQ SLCI26118, due June 17, 2026) requested 75 units of protective helmets with safety restraints for the Police Department on a Net/30 FOB Destination basis. Recent activity is concentrated in Washington State and Utah; no other jurisdictions appear in the current opportunities block.
