UNSPSC 20111616: Derricks

UNSPSC 20111616 Derricks (Commodity) covers lifting and hoisting equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, emergency response, and general operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse and misdirected. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment — does not align with derrick procurement; the solicitation seeks general law enforcement equipment solutions available to multiple jurisdictions and public entities, not specialized lifting machinery. State and local buyers under the derricks code span counties, municipal departments, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts seeking heavy equipment for construction support, emergency operations, and infrastructure maintenance, but the current opportunity pipeline does not reflect typical derrick demand.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, structured to establish a master contract available to participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous jurisdictions nationwide. The cooperative purchasing vehicle allows governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities to draw from the resulting agreement. However, the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation scope — law enforcement equipment rather than derricks — suggests the code categorization does not reflect current procurement activity. No dollar value, specific equipment categories, or set-aside designations are disclosed in available documentation. Vendors pursuing this code should verify derrick-related demand through direct outreach to state departments of transportation, county public works offices, and emergency management agencies rather than relying on current posted opportunities.
