UNSPSC 51442717: Technetium Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate or technetium 99mtc sodium pertechnetate

This classification denotes a radioconjugate with the molecular formula NA.O4TC, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier A0730CX801. The term sodium pertechnetate (sup 99m)tc is a U.S. FDA designation. Most nations schedule Technetium Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate or technetium 99mtc sodium pertechnetate under HS 28444030.

UNSPSC 51442717 Technetium Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate or technetium 99mtc sodium pertechnetate is a Commodity code representing medical and industrial radiopharmaceuticals and chemical compounds used in diagnostic imaging and specialized applications. However, the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not align with its nominal scope. The two opportunities on record involve X-ray inspection system maintenance services (Broward County Aviation Department) and copper sulfate supply (Pasco County, Florida), neither of which relates to technetium compounds or radiopharmaceuticals. This coding mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems are not currently using this code to solicit actual technetium products or related services, or the opportunities posted under it reflect categorization errors rather than genuine demand for the commodity.

The code shows minimal recent activity, with only two posted opportunities and no clear pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration. Broward County issued an RFI on June 25, 2026, with responses due July 28, 2026, framed as a notice of intent to procure X-ray inspection system maintenance on a sole-source basis, inviting vendors to contest the sole-brand designation or demonstrate comparable capability. Pasco County posted an RFQ on June 3, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for indefinite-quantity supply of copper sulfate in crystal and liquid forms. Neither solicitation reflects procurement activity aligned with the code's stated commodity definition. Pursuit under this code should be deferred pending clarification of whether state and local buyers are actually sourcing technetium compounds or whether the code remains inactive for the intended product category.
