UNSPSC 42203602: Digital imaging communications in medicine DICOM standard system equipment

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as the devices that form a communication system to provision digital imaging procedures in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Digital imaging communications in medicine DICOM standard system equipment under 21 CFR 892.2050 and under FDA product code LLZ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42203602 Digital imaging communications in medicine DICOM standard system equipment is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized medical imaging systems and related hardware designed to capture, process, and manage diagnostic imaging data in compliance with DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standards. State and local health systems, medical centers, and research institutions acquire equipment under this code to support oncology, trauma care, clinical research, and other diagnostic imaging workflows. The issuing bodies are primarily health science centers, hospital systems, and county health departments pursuing imaging platform modernization and equipment replacement. Scope of work includes LINAC systems with software, clinical imaging platforms for oncology research and tumor measurement, imaging acquisition and storage infrastructure, and associated implementation, training, and maintenance services. Recent opportunities show health systems investing in standardized, enterprise-level imaging solutions that integrate across multiple modalities, support HIPAA and FDA compliance, and enable data exchange between imaging systems, research teams, and external partners.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Halifax Health (Volusia County, Florida) issued an RFP in July 2026 seeking LINAC systems, software, equipment, implementation, and ongoing support services, with responses due August 24, 2026. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio posted an RFP in June 2026 for a comprehensive oncology clinical imaging and tumor measurement platform supporting radiology imaging in DICOM format, digital pathology, and emerging modalities, with proposals due August 7, 2026. Both procurements emphasize scalability, interoperability across imaging systems, secure data handling, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11), and integration with Electronic Data Capture systems and trial management workflows. A separate sole-source procurement by Brevard County, Florida's Natural Resources Department (posted October 2026) for OceanSpace proprietary aquatic imaging equipment shows the code capturing niche medical device acquisitions outside traditional clinical settings; however, this opportunity is plainly unrelated to DICOM medical imaging equipment and reflects a code-tagging mismatch rather than representative activity.
