UNSPSC 12141760: Polonium Po

UNSPSC 12141760 Polonium Po, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The opportunities posted between February and July 2026 include water treatment chemicals, forensic laboratory consumables, drug standards and reagents, laboratory testing services, and diagnostic test kits — none of which involve polonium or radioactive materials procurement. State and local governments rarely procure polonium; the code shows no relevant recent activity in the sourced opportunities.

The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns. The actual goods being solicited — calcium hypochlorite, liquid caustic soda, sodium permanganate (City of Meriden), Sigma-Aldrich and Cerilliant drug standards (State of California), IDEXX filtration products (City of Tampa), and Shiga toxin diagnostic kits (State of California) — fall under different commodity codes related to water treatment chemicals, laboratory reagents, and diagnostic supplies. Without sourced opportunities directly involving polonium procurement, no pursue recommendation can be made on this code for state and local contract pursuit.
