UNSPSC 13101603: Hydrochloride rubber

UNSPSC 13101603 Hydrochloride rubber is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, which solicits law enforcement equipment for a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing arrangement. The solicitation does not specify hydrochloride rubber as a line item or component; the code appears to be a misclassification within a broader law enforcement equipment procurement. State and local governments buying under this code would typically source synthetic rubber compounds and related materials for equipment maintenance, fleet operations, or specialized applications, but recent posting activity does not confirm active demand for hydrochloride rubber specifically.

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is administering the RFP on behalf of participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. The cooperative purchasing structure is designed to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Geographic spread reflects a national scope through Sourcewell's participating-addendum model, though the posting originates from Minnesota and Washington state administration. The absence of explicit set-aside designations, award values, or budget ranges in available documentation limits visibility into procurement scale and vendor eligibility criteria. Business development professionals should monitor whether Sourcewell issues addenda or clarifications that re-scope the opportunity to confirm whether hydrochloride rubber remains part of the ultimate contracting solution or whether the code assignment was incidental to a broader equipment procurement.
