Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, available through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. While this solicitation carries a law enforcement classification in its title, the cooperative structure makes it available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington. The source does not specify award values, set-aside designations, or technology integration requirements. No other recent opportunities under NIGP 54594 appear in the current activity block; this code shows limited recent solicitation volume at the state and local level.
