UNSPSC 11121700: Forestry byproducts

UNSPSC 11121700 Forestry byproducts is a Class code that state and local governments procure for materials derived from timber harvesting and forest management operations. The recent solicitation record shows a significant mismatch: the only posted opportunity tagged to this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued on behalf of the State of Minnesota and its cooperative purchasing participants, which solicits law enforcement equipment—body armor, duty gear, tactical equipment, and related protective apparatus for police and sheriff departments. This procurement has no connection to forestry byproducts, wood chips, bark, sawdust, or other timber-derived materials. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The law enforcement equipment solicitation, posted May 12, 2026 with responses due June 16, 2026, is structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle open to thousands of participating governmental entities across the United States and Canada, including five named Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), K–12 school districts, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations. Submissions are required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent contractor information is disclosed in the available documentation. Because the posted opportunity is unrelated to the code's nominal scope, readers evaluating forestry byproducts procurement should treat this code as showing no actionable recent state and local buying signals.
