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 encompasses radioactive pharmaceutical agents and diagnostic imaging compounds used in nuclear medicine. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code diverges sharply from the code's nominal scope: the two most recent opportunities posted involve X-ray system maintenance services and copper sulfate chemicals, neither of which are technetium-based radiopharmaceuticals. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or the opportunities are unrelated to the intended commodity definition. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code appear limited in number and geographically dispersed, with no clear pattern of repeat purchasing or concentrated demand emerging from the recent record.

The two most recent opportunities show no meaningful activity in technetium radiopharmaceuticals or related diagnostic imaging agents. Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI (Solicitation BLD2132311F1) posted June 25, 2026, due July 28, 2026, for maintenance services on Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems—a sole-source or sole-brand notice unrelated to nuclear medicine compounds. Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ (Solicitation RFQFP261004) on June 3, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for as-needed supply of large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, an industrial chemical with no connection to the code's stated commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its intended scope; professionals evaluating opportunities under this designation should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy before committing resources to pursuit.
