UNSPSC 26142312: Lead for radiation shielding

UNSPSC 26142312 Lead for radiation shielding is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears to cover armored coating construction materials and application services rather than traditional lead-based radiation protection. Clackamas County, Oregon's July 2026 bid for armored coating construction suggests the code is being used to solicit protective coating work on structures or facilities where shielding properties are relevant to the project scope. The work involves general construction contracting—labor, materials, transportation, and equipment—executed under prevailing wage requirements and bonding obligations typical of public works projects. County purchasing offices appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code, though the recent-opportunities block shows limited activity.

The code shows minimal recent solicitation activity in the state and local market. Clackamas County, Oregon's BID# 2026-55 Armored Coating Project, with a response deadline of August 11, 2026 and an engineer's estimate of $225,000, represents the only recent opportunity identified. The solicitation is structured as a sealed-bid IFB via Bid Locker with prevailing wage requirements, Good Faith Effort subcontracting minimums (three certified minority, women, or emerging small business contacts per division), performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value, and 10 percent bid security. Prospective bidders must register through the OregonBuys website and hold current Construction Contractors Board registration and workers' compensation insurance. The disparity between the code's nominal scope (radiation shielding) and the actual solicitation (armored coating construction) suggests either a tagging mismatch or a narrower real-world interpretation of the commodity than the abstract code name implies.
