UNSPSC 20121401: Ball catcher subs

UNSPSC 20121401 Ball catcher subs is a Commodity code covering specialized protective equipment and accessories used in law enforcement and tactical operations. State and local governments buy this equipment primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and framework agreements that serve multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. The issuing bodies span a broad range of public entities: county sheriff's offices and police departments, municipal law enforcement agencies, state police departments, school districts with resource officers or campus security programs, and special districts managing public safety operations. Cooperative purchasing organizations like Sourcewell act as the contracting intermediary, aggregating demand across hundreds of participating jurisdictions and allowing standardized procurement of law enforcement equipment inventories.

The RFP seeks to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada, with named participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington. Proposals must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent contractor information was disclosed in available documentation. The resulting framework agreement will allow participating entities to order law enforcement equipment under standardized terms, leveraging cooperative buying power across multiple jurisdictions and entity types.
