UNSPSC 51441716: Diatrizoate meglumine or diatrizoate sodium

Contrast medium used for gastroview.

UNSPSC 51441716 Diatrizoate meglumine or diatrizoate sodium is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of radiologic and X-ray imaging equipment, maintenance services, and related supplies rather than the specific contrast agents the code nominally names. Recent opportunities show county governments and special districts soliciting radiologic equipment for educational and correctional facilities, X-ray system maintenance and warranty coverage, and chemical supplies for water treatment — a misalignment between the code's stated scope and actual buying activity. The issuing bodies include county purchasing departments, county correctional agencies, and county aviation authorities, reflecting the fragmented nature of state and local procurement across multiple operational functions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona. Maricopa County posted an IFB for radiologic equipment and installation services at three colleges with a due date of October 22, 2026; Escambia County Corrections issued a sole-source solicitation for extended warranty coverage on specified X-ray machines with responses due August 19, 2026; and Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI on June 25, 2026 (responses due July 28, 2026) to determine whether maintenance and inspection services for Rapiscan X-ray systems are available from vendors other than the original manufacturer. A fourth opportunity from Pasco County, Florida for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis (due June 26, 2026) appears unrelated to the code's radiologic equipment focus and suggests either miscoding or limited relevance of this code to actual state and local procurement patterns.
