UNSPSC 20121318: Sand detectors

UNSPSC 20121318 Sand detectors (Commodity) encompasses detection equipment used in law enforcement and security applications, though state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse. The recent cooperative solicitation by Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government service cooperative, addresses law enforcement equipment broadly, and sand detectors fall within the wider category of detection and protective devices that public safety agencies acquire for field operations and equipment staging. State and local buyers include county sheriffs' offices, municipal police departments, and other law enforcement agencies that source specialized detection and safety equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct procurement channels.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, seeking to establish a framework contract for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The cooperative structure encompasses Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, among numerous other jurisdictions. Proposals must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; vendors should direct inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No specific award values, set-aside designations, or budget ranges are identified in available documentation.
