UNSPSC 42202203: Cushion sets for radiosurgical helmets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used to provide cushioning with a radiosurgical helmet used in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42202203 Cushion sets for radiosurgical helmets (Commodity) shows a significant disconnect between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve radiosurgical helmet cushions at all. Instead, the code is being applied to occupational medical surveillance services and protective police helmets — neither of which align with radiosurgical equipment. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington ferry locations, with examinations to be performed or supervised by a licensed physician board-certified in occupational medicine. Salt Lake City Corporation's Purchasing & Contracts Division simultaneously posted an RFQ for 75 units of WRAP Safety Restraints with Protective Helmets for its Police Department. These solicitations represent state departments and municipal police operations rather than any constituency purchasing radiosurgical equipment.

The recent opportunities span Washington State and Utah, with the WSDOT ferry-medical-surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 and the Salt Lake City protective-helmet RFQ having already closed as of its June 17, 2026 deadline. Given that neither opportunity is functionally related to the code's stated commodity definition, this code does not appear to reflect actual state and local procurement demand for radiosurgical helmet components. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for practical purposes and flag the classification mismatch to procurement counterparts, as the underlying opportunities require occupational health expertise and law-enforcement equipment supply capabilities that fall well outside radiosurgical device scope.
