UNSPSC 26141806: Hot cell special tools

UNSPSC 26141806 Hot cell special tools, a Commodity code, covers specialized equipment and instruments designed for remote handling and manipulation of radioactive or hazardous materials within shielded hot cells—enclosed work stations where operators use mechanical arms, tongs, forceps, and other tools to perform maintenance, assembly, disassembly, or analytical work on highly radioactive components without direct contact. State and local governments procure these tools primarily through university research institutions, environmental remediation contractors, and nuclear decommissioning programs that require precision instruments rated for high-dose-rate environments and capable of functioning reliably behind lead, concrete, or steel shielding. The tools themselves range from simple mechanical manipulators and custom forceps to specialized drilling, cutting, welding, and measurement devices engineered to withstand gamma and neutron radiation and to maintain dimensional accuracy under remote operation.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Given the highly specialized nature of hot cell tools and their limited application outside nuclear research facilities, university physics and engineering departments, and Department of Energy legacy-site remediation projects, procurement activity under this code appears sparse in the broader state and local market. No issuing bodies, geographic regions, or representative solicitations are identifiable from the available data.
