UNSPSC 13101501: Latex rubber

UNSPSC 13101501 Latex rubber is a Commodity code that captures specialized elastomer materials and products state and local governments procure for law enforcement, industrial, and institutional applications. The recent activity under this code reflects narrow but significant sourcing — a Sourcewell (Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative) RFP issued May 12, 2026, tagged the code while soliciting law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating counties and public entities across Washington state and beyond. The scope of work under this code encompasses rubber-based components, protective gear, sealing materials, and related elastomer products that law enforcement and other public agencies require for operations, maintenance, and equipment assembly. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington), state cooperative purchasing vehicles, and through Sourcewell's structure, K–12 school districts, higher education institutions, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Washington state and Minnesota (Sourcewell's administrative base), with the cooperative structure extending potential reach across the entire United States and Canada. Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, represents the primary recent opportunity; submission is required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The cooperative purchasing vehicle structure allows selected vendors to supply latex rubber and related elastomer products to thousands of governmental agencies and public entities through a single contracting framework, expanding market exposure across multiple jurisdictions and entity types while maintaining standardized terms and conditions.
