UNSPSC 51442719: Technetium Tc-99m sulfur colloid or technetium 99mtc sulfur colloid

This classification denotes a contrast media, commonly used in lymphoscintigraphy (on breast cancer patients, and for liver, spleen and bone marrow imaging and gastric transit studies and gastroesophageal reflux), a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 556Q0P6PB1. The European Medicines Agency schedules Technetium tc 99m sulfur colloid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12345MIG. Technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid generally arises in the molecular formula S8.TC.

The term 'Technetium Tc-99m sulfur colloid' is a Hazardous Substances Data Bank designation. Most nations schedule Technetium Tc-99m sulfur colloid or technetium 99mtc sulfur colloid under HS 28444030.

UNSPSC 51442719 Technetium Tc-99m sulfur colloid or technetium 99mtc sulfur colloid is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a radioactive diagnostic imaging agent used in nuclear medicine procedures, yet the four recent solicitations in the source describe radiologic equipment procurement and installation, X-ray equipment warranties and maintenance, and chemical supplies (copper sulfate). None of these opportunities involve the procurement or supply of technetium-based radiopharmaceuticals. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or conflation of radiologic and nuclear-medicine procurement categories in the state and local systems that tagged these records.

Geographic activity, where present, spans Arizona (Maricopa County), Florida (Escambia County and Pasco County), and the Fort Lauderdale area (Broward County Aviation Department), with no clear concentration. Issuing bodies include a county corrections department, a county aviation authority, and county purchasing offices; none of the four opportunities involves state-level procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Maricopa County's IFB 362910 (radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges, due October 22, 2026) and Broward County Aviation Department's RFI BLD2132311F1 (maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems, posted June 25, 2026, due July 28, 2026). Given the systematic disconnect between code definition and solicitation scope, this code is not a reliable signal for identifying genuine state and local demand for technetium sulfur colloid supply.
