UNSPSC 42203902: Medical radiation films or badges

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device composed of a pack of radiographic film or films worn as a badge, used for the detection and approximate measurement of radiation exposure of personnel in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42203902 Medical radiation films or badges is a Commodity code covering personal dosimetry products — principally film badges and electronic dosimeters — that state and local agencies deploy to monitor occupational radiation exposure among healthcare workers, industrial hygiene personnel, and other at-risk staff. The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under this code, making it impossible to characterize current buying patterns, issuing-body concentration, or geographic activity.

Without posted solicitations, market signals remain opaque. Agencies that procure these products — typically state health departments, county and municipal hospitals, and school district science programs with radioactive materials licenses — may be consolidating purchases through cooperative vehicles, leveraging existing contracts from prior years, or bundling dosimetry with broader occupational safety programs under different UNSPSC codes. Watch for activity in states with active nuclear medicine programs or industrial radiography licensing, but treat this code as dormant in state and local procurement unless opportunities surface.
