UNSPSC 42202901 Low energy medical x-ray units is a Commodity code covering diagnostic and inspection x-ray equipment ranging from specialized radiographic simulators to advanced security and medical imaging systems. State and local governments procure these units for educational training (radiologic technology and medical programs), security and inspection applications (airport baggage screening, correctional facility contraband detection), and clinical diagnostic use. Recent solicitations show a mix of educational institutions acquiring training simulators with proprietary software packages, higher-education medical programs seeking ultrasound and diagnostic imaging systems that happen to be tagged to this code, and specialized inspection systems for airport and correctional security operations.

Soliciting bodies include county aviation departments, state-system community colleges, university technical colleges, school boards, and state correctional departments. Colorado Northwestern Community College appears across multiple documented quote solicitations for non-radiographic x-ray simulators at a $35,000 budget each, while other state entities solicit on an occasional basis. Recent opportunities span Colorado (multiple CNCC solicitations with April 2026 response dates), Florida (Broward County Aviation Department RFI due July 28, 2026 for Rapiscan maintenance; Valencia College sole-source procurements), Georgia (Georgia Northwestern Technical College eRFQ for GE ultrasound console, April 13, 2026 response), Texas (Texas A&M University System ITB for ceiling-mounted C-arm, March 11, 2026 close), Illinois (Department of Corrections maintenance agreement for LineV body scanners, February 11, 2026 bid due), and Polk County, Florida (school board RFP for VMI x-ray inspection system, March 9, 2026 proposal deadline). The code shows scattered geographic activity across multiple states with no single jurisdiction dominating procurement volume; most opportunities are one-time equipment purchases or service agreements for existing systems rather than recurring demand.
