UNSPSC 42204016: Medical radiological lead-lined storage pigs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as shielding eyewear during medical radiological procedures in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42204016 Medical radiological lead-lined storage pigs is a Commodity code covering shielded storage containers used in healthcare and research settings to safely store radioactive materials and medical isotopes. State and local governments procure these units primarily through hospital systems, university research facilities, and public health departments that operate nuclear medicine programs, radiotherapy departments, and radioisotope laboratories. The containers serve critical safety and regulatory functions — containing radiation exposure, meeting NRC and state radiation protection standards, and enabling compliant handling of spent sources and waste pending disposal or decay.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code, so current market activity under UNSPSC 42204016 remains unclear. Procurement decisions in this category typically occur through small-scale departmental purchases or equipment replacements at individual healthcare institutions rather than as broad jurisdictional solicitations, which may explain the absence of posted RFP or IFB activity in the state and local records available. Firms serving this market should monitor requisitions from large academic medical centers, teaching hospitals, and state university systems with established nuclear medicine or radiotherapy programs, and track cooperative purchasing vehicles that hospital networks or state healthcare purchasing groups may use for radiological equipment and containment systems.
