UNSPSC 51442720: Technetium Tc-99m teboroxime or technetium 99mtc teboroxime

This classification denotes a radioconjugate with the molecular formula (C6H9N2O2)2./C6H8N2O2.TC,CL,CH3,B, a cardiac imaging contrast medium most often used in myocardial perfusion imaging, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier UT0WHJ4951, more generally known as Technetium Tc 99m teboroxime. In general, such compounds consist of one or more radioactive agents linked to a substance, and these in concert providing practitioners the ability to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease, especially cancer.

UNSPSC 51442720 Technetium Tc-99m teboroxime or technetium 99mtc teboroxime is a Commodity code that in theory designates a specific radiopharmaceutical agent for cardiac imaging. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code, however, shows substantial misalignment with the code's nominal scope. The four most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve radiologic equipment procurement and installation, X-ray machine extended warranties, X-ray inspection system maintenance services, and copper sulfate supply — none of which correspond to the technetium-based pharmaceutical product the code purports to identify. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catchall for radiologic and imaging equipment and services rather than as a designation for a specific nuclear medicine tracer. The issuing bodies include county-level public entities (Maricopa County, Escambia County Correction, Broward County Aviation Department, Pasco County, Florida), indicating that radiologic procurement activity at the county level spans equipment acquisition, extended service coverage, specialized maintenance, and ancillary supplies.

The recent opportunities are geographically concentrated in Florida and Arizona. Maricopa County (Arizona) posted IFB 362910 on October 1, 2026, for radiologic equipment and installation services at three colleges, with responses due October 22, 2026. Escambia County Correction (Florida) issued sole-source solicitation SSCORALM2526005 on August 12, 2026, for extended warranty coverage on X-ray machines, with a proposal deadline of August 19, 2026. Broward County Aviation Department (Florida) posted an RFI on June 25, 2026, to challenge or confirm the sole-source designation for Rapiscan X-ray inspection system maintenance services, with responses due July 28, 2026. The code does not appear to be tracking actual procurement of the radiopharmaceutical product it nominally represents; vendors evaluating this code should verify with issuing bodies whether tagged opportunities genuinely require the specified tracer or whether the code assignment reflects procurement system misconfiguration.
