UNSPSC 10141504: Muleshoes

UNSPSC 10141504 Muleshoes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitation activity covers law enforcement equipment procurement, though the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought show significant misalignment. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the primary issuing body driving recent activity under this code. The solicitation establishes framework agreements for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, including state departments, counties, school districts, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, and higher education institutions across the United States and Canada. The work involves establishing contracting solutions that allow participating entities to procure law enforcement equipment through a standardized cooperative vehicle rather than individual procurement actions.
