UNSPSC 12141914: Astatine At

UNSPSC 12141914 Astatine At is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code show a significant disconnect from astatine — a radioactive chemical element with no apparent application in routine state or local government operations. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, including baseline and periodic medical examinations by board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 Washington State Ferries locations, with a two-year term and optional five one-year extensions. The two Collin College solicitations (FY2024-ITB-020 and FY2024-ITB-024, both posted July 7, 2026) seek welding materials, supplies, and equipment including flat bars, sheets, tubes, welding rods, and tungsten electrodes under three-year contracts with estimated annual volumes of approximately $400,000. None of these opportunities involve astatine procurement or related isotope services.

The issuing bodies are a state transportation agency and community college districts in Texas. Geographic activity is confined to Washington State and Texas based on these three records. The code shows no coherent recent activity in its stated commodity area and appears to be a miscoding artifact rather than an active procurement pathway for state and local buyers. No action is warranted unless the source materials clarify a legitimate astatine or radioisotope procurement need within state or local government that is not evident in these posted opportunities.
