UNSPSC 77111506: Radiation protection services

UNSPSC 77111506 Radiation protection services is a Commodity code covering whole-body dosimetry monitoring and related safety services that state and local governments procure to track occupational radiation exposure among personnel working in correctional facilities, hospitals, laboratories, and other regulated environments. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is the primary recent buyer in the block, having issued IFB SD25-00030 in July 2026 for radiation dosimetry services across 28 participating institutions. The scope includes supply and testing of whole-body dosimeters using radiation detection film or optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) technology, with mandatory delivery within five business days of order, testing within five business days of receipt, and comprehensive exposure reporting within forty-five days. Contractors must hold National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and ISO 17025 certifications, demonstrate three years of relevant experience, and provide three positive references. The contract term runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2028, with one optional two-year renewal period. CDCR has established a mandatory 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement and offers a 5% small-business preference for certified small businesses or non-small businesses committing to at least 25% subcontractor participation.

The code shows limited recent activity in the state and local block; only the CDCR opportunity represents a direct match to the radiation protection services taxonomy. The remaining opportunities in the source (freshwater mussel surveys, building plan review, traffic safety platforms, vacuum truck services, environmental consulting, emergency restoration, materials recovery facility inspections, chlorine recovery equipment, and bridge replacement) are misclassified under this code and do not reflect actual radiation protection procurement. Geographic activity is concentrated in California based on the single relevant solicitation. CDCR's IFB includes a mandatory pre-bid Q&A window closing July 20, 2026, with reference checks scheduled for August 7 through August 14, 2026, Notice of Intent to Award on August 17, 2026, and Proposed Award Date of August 25, 2026. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Interested vendors should expect questions due dates and reference verification processes typical of California state procurement and should confirm NVLAP and ISO 17025 credentials early in the bidding cycle.
