UNSPSC 51441500: Medical imaging contrast media

This classification denotes medical imaging contrast media based on or infused with a radioactive fission product of uranium that bears the atomic symbol Tc, the atomic number 43, and the atomic weight 98.91.

UNSPSC 51441500 Medical imaging contrast media is a Class code that in recent state and local solicitations captures maintenance and repair services for specialized X-ray inspection equipment, alongside chemical supplies for water treatment and related operational needs. The code's nominal name — contrast media — does not align with the work actually being purchased; state and local buyers are using it to tag service contracts for proprietary imaging systems and bulk chemical procurement rather than pharmaceutical contrast agents. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county aviation departments and county utility or environmental management operations, reflecting the range of government facilities relying on X-ray inspection or chemical treatment systems.

Recent activity includes Broward County Aviation Department's RFI (solicitation BLD2132311F1, due July 28, 2026) seeking maintenance and repair services for Rapiscan 600 series, 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini X-ray inspection systems, posted as a notice of intent to procure as sole source or sole brand given the proprietary nature of the equipment and its exclusive warranty through Rapiscan, and Pasco County's RFQ (solicitation RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026) for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis under an indefinite-quantity arrangement. Both opportunities are in Florida. The mismatch between the code's abstract definition and the services and materials actually being procured suggests limited relevance of this code to imaging contrast agent vendors; procurement activity here centers on equipment support and industrial chemicals rather than pharmaceutical products.
