UNSPSC 20121112: Express latch couplers

UNSPSC 20121112 Express latch couplers is a Commodity code that captures hardware components used in law enforcement and public safety equipment assemblies, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations. State and local governments buy express latch couplers as subcomponents of law enforcement gear, tactical equipment, and emergency-response apparatus, though the recent opportunity block shows limited direct solicitation activity specific to the coupler itself. Instead, the code appears tagged to broader law enforcement equipment procurement that incorporates couplers as constituent parts. Issuing bodies under this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions — Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, represents the primary vehicle identified in recent activity, aggregating demand across county governments, city procurement offices, school districts, tribal governments, and other public entities.

Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, represents the most recent state and local opportunity tagged to this code. The procurement encompasses participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extends nationally and into Canada, establishing a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies and public sector organizations. The solicitation structure reserves the resulting contract(s) for potential future utilization through a participating addendum with Sourcewell, allowing flexibility across participating entities. Submission occurs exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; inquiries should be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The solicitation does not identify set-aside designations, specific award values, or budget ranges in available documentation.
