UNSPSC 46171638: Radiation detector and alarm

Equipment that minimizes the damage from the radiation by making the warning sound or visually informing to the public when the radiation is senses or reached to certain range.

UNSPSC 46171638 Radiation detector and alarm, a Commodity code, covers detection equipment and related services that state and local governments procure to monitor atmospheric hazards, chemical and biological threats, and environmental conditions across facilities and operations. Recent solicitations reveal state and local bodies buying hazardous-detection meters, gas sensors, maintenance services, and calibration support for emergency response, water treatment compliance, and facility safety—a scope somewhat broader than the code's nominal focus on radiation specifically. The mix of issuing bodies includes transit authorities, state facilities commissions, fire departments, county detention facilities, water utilities, and state oil and gas agencies; no single buyer dominates recent activity. The Texas Facilities Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority, and City of Phoenix Fire Department appear as repeat or high-value buyers, and cooperative purchasing platforms like Sourcewell are extending purchasing authority across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span Texas, California, Arizona, Florida, and Ohio, with the most active volume in Texas and California. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 250322 in June 2026 for methane detection system maintenance across five transit facilities—a four-year, $260,000 contract with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and DBE requirements. The City of Phoenix Fire Department solicited hazardous detection equipment and preventive maintenance services under IFB-26-0111 for a five-year term beginning June 2026, requiring authorized distributor and service-provider status and manufacturer-specific pricing benchmarked to MSRP with DBE and small-business participation mandates. The Texas Facilities Commission issued RFP 0007615 in April 2026 for remediation and restoration services (water, sewage, fire, mold, and biohazard remediation with related testing) at multiple state facilities, with a mandatory 26 percent HUB subcontracting utilization goal and a contract term through August 2028 plus two optional two-year renewals. Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026, extends contracting authority across five Washington counties and other U.S. jurisdictions. The code shows active procurement across jurisdictional levels with strong emphasis on multi-year service contracts, prevailing wage and subcontracting compliance, and emergency-response capability.
