UNSPSC 26142201: Nuclear fuel cladding tubes

UNSPSC 26142201 Nuclear fuel cladding tubes is a Commodity code identifying specialized zirconium-alloy or stainless-steel tubular components that form the structural and containment barrier around nuclear reactor fuel pellets. State and local governments do not procure nuclear fuel cladding tubes. This is a federal-regulated commodity sourced exclusively through the U.S. Department of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and licensed nuclear utilities operating under federal contracts; no state, county, municipal, school district, transit authority, or special-purpose district purchasing activity exists under this code.

The code shows no relevant recent state and local contract opportunities. Nuclear fuel cladding is classified as Special Nuclear Material (SNM) subject to the Atomic Energy Act, domestic content requirements, and export controls; procurement is restricted to federal entities and their authorized prime contractors. State and local procurement professionals should disregard this code and focus on codes aligned with state and local spending authority.
