UNSPSC 51442300: Indium-based medical imaging agents and media

This classification denotes a variety of compounds and preparations that are sensitive to frequencies or rays common in nuclear medicine that empower practitioners to differentiate between cell or tissue types, or to bring to focus one cell or tissue type over another, and to thus examine internal body parts or systems, typically for diagnostic purposes, and which are based in part or whole on the chemical element with symbol In and atomic number 49, called Indium, and isotopes thereof, thus the term Indium-based medical imaging agents and media.

UNSPSC 51442300 Indium-based medical imaging agents and media is a Class code that in practice sees minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch: Broward County Aviation Department posted an RFI on June 25, 2026, soliciting maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems (600 series, 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini models), and Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ on June 3, 2026, for bulk copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis. Neither opportunity involves indium-based medical imaging agents or media as the code name suggests. The Broward County RFI focuses on specialized repair and inspection services for proprietary X-ray equipment, while the Pasco County solicitation concerns industrial chemical supply. These opportunities do not reflect the radiopharmaceutical or contrast-agent procurement that the code's title implies state and local governments are buying.

The geographic activity recorded here is limited to Florida (Broward and Pasco counties), with no visibility into other states or jurisdictions in the recent-opportunities block. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited under it, this code does not appear to be a reliable signal for indium-based medical imaging procurement at the state and local level. Business development professionals evaluating this code should confirm whether their target agencies use alternate UNSPSC classifications for medical imaging agents or whether procurement under this code is genuinely sparse.
