UNSPSC 26142001: Irradiation gamma sources

UNSPSC 26142001 Irradiation gamma sources is a Commodity code representing radioactive cobalt-60 and cesium-137 sources used in sterilization, medical device processing, and industrial applications. State and local governments acquire these sources primarily through specialized procurement channels to support hospital sterilization departments, university research facilities, and municipal water treatment operations. The sourcing involves compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing, secure chain-of-custody protocols, and vendor qualification for radioactive material handling. Issuing bodies include state health departments, university systems, hospital networks, and municipal utilities, though procurement frequency is limited by the specialized nature of the commodity and the long operational life of installed sources.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 26142001. Without posted solicitations or awarded records in the available dataset, the current market activity under this code cannot be characterized by geography, issuing-body frequency, or representative RFP or RFQ examples. Professionals should monitor state health department procurement channels, university facilities management notices, and hospital system collaborative purchasing vehicles for opportunities when source replacement or new facility sterilization equipment triggers demand.
