UNSPSC 13101600: Processed and synthetic rubber

UNSPSC 13101600 Processed and synthetic rubber, a Class code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment — a category substantially outside processed and synthetic rubber commodity procurement. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local system or a narrow application of this code to a specific functional input (such as rubber components in duty gear or equipment seals) that does not reflect mainstream buying under the classification.

The one visible recent opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, targets law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle serving Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and participating entities nationwide. The structure reserves resulting contracts for use by governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. However, this procurement does not reflect typical processed rubber or synthetic rubber sourcing. Business development professionals should confirm whether their processed and synthetic rubber product or service offerings map to a specific subcomponent of law enforcement equipment or whether this code warrants reclassification within their tracking systems.
