UNSPSC 42204010: Medical radiological shielding bench-tops or workspaces

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as shield or container protecting bench-tops or workspaces from radiation used during medical radiological procedures in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42204010 Medical radiological shielding bench-tops or workspaces is a Commodity code that covers specialized work surfaces and containment structures designed to protect personnel and surrounding areas from radiation exposure in medical and diagnostic imaging facilities. State and local procurement under this code targets the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of lead-lined or otherwise shielded work surfaces, benches, and modular workspace enclosures used in radiology departments, nuclear medicine labs, dental offices, and research facilities operated by public health systems, universities, and school districts. The code encompasses both new construction of shielded workstations and retrofitting of existing facilities to meet radiation safety standards set by state health departments and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

No recent state or local contract opportunities are present in the available procurement record for this code. The absence of activity suggests either low procurement frequency—shielding installations are often bundled into larger facility construction or renovation projects under different UNSPSC codes—or limited visibility into specialized medical equipment solicitations at the state and local level. Firms pursuing this code should monitor radiology department modernization initiatives, radiation oncology facility expansions, and public health system capital improvement notices, which may tag related work under broader construction or medical equipment families rather than this specific commodity code.
