UNSPSC 13101603: Hydrochloride rubber

UNSPSC 13101603 Hydrochloride rubber, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—solicits law enforcement equipment broadly rather than hydrochloride rubber as a discrete product line. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is procuring on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The RFP seeks to establish a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. No set-aside designations, award values, or budget ranges were identified in available documentation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunity's actual procurement—law enforcement equipment as a broad category rather than a specific elastomer product—suggests that this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local purchasing patterns for hydrochloride rubber specifically.

Recent activity under this code appears limited to the single Sourcewell cooperative procurement noted above. The code shows no evidence of discrete solicitations from state departments, counties, cities, or school districts targeting hydrochloride rubber as a stand-alone commodity. Without additional opportunities demonstrating regular purchasing of this material by state and local bodies, the code does not present a clear market signal for vendors specializing in this product line.
