UNSPSC 51441700: Combination contrast media, imaging agents, and radiopharmaceuticals

This classification denotes combination drugs and preparations that a) enable enhanced visualization of tissues; and/or b) provide radiation for radiotherapy and for diagnostic purposes. Typical combination contrast media, imaging agent, and radiopharmaceutical constituents are albumin, ascorbic acid, barium sulfate, diatrizoate, disofenin, gallium citrate (ga-67), gluceptate, isosulfan blue, medronate disodium, methylene diphosphonic acid, pentetate calcium trisodium, pentetate pentasodium, sodium hydroxymethane, and stannous chloride.

UNSPSC 51441700 Combination contrast media, imaging agents, and radiopharmaceuticals is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally encompasses medical imaging supplies — contrast agents, tracers, and radiopharmaceutical products — but the three substantive recent opportunities solicited radiologic equipment, X-ray system maintenance services, and extended warranties rather than imaging agents or contrast media themselves. One opportunity (Pasco County's copper sulfate solicitation) is wholly unrelated to the code's scope. State and local buyers have not posted material opportunities for the products the code nominally describes, suggesting either narrow procurement volumes, reliance on existing contracts, or systematic miscoding of imaging-related work in state and local procurement systems.

The limited recent activity shows issuance by a county-level educational purchaser (Maricopa County Community Colleges District), a county correctional authority (Escambia County Correction), and a county aviation department (Broward County Aviation Department) in Arizona and Florida. Representative opportunities include Maricopa County's IFB 362910 (Oct 22, 2026 deadline) for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges; Escambia County Correction's sole-source procurement SSCORALM2526005 (Aug 19, 2026 deadline) for extended warranty coverage on X-ray machines; and Broward County Aviation Department's RFI BLD2132311F1 (Jul 28, 2026 deadline) challenging sole-source designation for Rapiscan X-ray system maintenance services. The code shows no activity outside Florida and Arizona in the available record and no repeat buyers pursuing imaging agents, contrast media, or radiopharmaceuticals themselves.
