UNSPSC 12142006: Neon gas Ne

UNSPSC 12142006 Neon gas Ne is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy in the context of occupational health and medical surveillance programs. The recent activity under this code shows a stark mismatch: the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited medical surveillance services for ferry workers—occupational medical examinations, testing, record-keeping, and 24/7 support—under RFP 20260825 with responses due October 9, 2026. The two other opportunities posted in the recent window were for welding materials and supplies from Collin College and Collin County Community College District (FY2024-ITB-020 and FY2024-ITB-024), which have no clear relationship to neon gas procurement. The code appears to be misaligned with what is actually being bought; state and local jurisdictions are not visibly soliciting neon gas as a commodity line item in the records provided.

The only substantive recent opportunity is the WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP, which covers baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington locations (Anacortes, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Clinton, Coupeville, Edmonds, Kingston, Mukilteo, Port Orchard, Port Townsend, San Juan Islands, Seattle, Tacoma, and Vashion Island). The contract runs two years with options to extend up to five additional one-year terms, with cost accounting for 40 percent of the evaluation score and non-cost factors (capability to exceed minimum specifications) accounting for 60 percent. Questions were due September 7, 2026, with the Apparent Successful Bidder announcement scheduled for October 20, 2026, and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026. This activity is limited to Washington State; the welding-materials solicitations do not support relevant neon-gas procurement activity in any jurisdiction.
