UNSPSC 51442712: Technetium Tc-99m pentetate or technetium 99mtc pentetate

This classification denotes a radioconjugate with the molecular formula C14H18N3O10.Na. Tc, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier VW78417PU1, chemically known as technetate(1-)(sup 99 m)tc, (n,n-bis(2-bis(carboxymethyl)amino)ethyl)glycinato(5-))-, sodium but more generally known as technetium tc 99m pentetate, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 6328391.

UNSPSC 51442712 Technetium Tc-99m pentetate or technetium 99mtc pentetate is a Commodity code that nominally describes a radiopharmaceutical diagnostic agent. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's nominal scope; the opportunities posted are predominantly for radiologic and X-ray equipment procurement, installation, and maintenance services rather than technetium-based radiopharmaceuticals. The Maricopa County Community Colleges District issued an IFB for radiologic equipment and installation at three college locations (response due October 22, 2026), and Broward County Aviation Department posted an RFI on June 25, 2026 regarding maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems. Escambia County Correction solicited extended warranty coverage for X-ray machines under a sole-source procurement (due August 19, 2026). These opportunities reflect procurement in diagnostic imaging equipment and services, not pharmaceutical products. State and local issuers using this code include county community college systems, county correction departments, and aviation authorities.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Florida and Arizona, with isolated procurement in these jurisdictions rather than systematic, ongoing demand. Representative opportunities include Maricopa County's IFB 362910 for radiologic equipment and installation (response due October 22, 2026), Escambia County Correction's sole-source extended warranty solicitation SSCORALM2526005 for X-ray machines (due August 19, 2026), and Broward County Aviation's RFI BLD2132311F1 posted June 25, 2026 to assess sole-source designation for Rapiscan maintenance services. The mismatch between the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope and the equipment and services actually being procured suggests misclassification in the underlying procurement records rather than genuine demand for technetium Tc-99m pentetate at the state and local level. Firms pursuing diagnostic imaging equipment and maintenance contracts should not rely on this code's classification as a reliable signal for procurement opportunities in that commodity family.
