UNSPSC 20121416: Landing nipples

UNSPSC 20121416 Landing nipples, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—is a law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing initiative, not landing nipples or hydraulic/pneumatic fittings of any kind. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the nominal Commodity scope and the actual solicitation suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity record or misalignment between the state and local procurement office's UNSPSC classification and the goods and services actually being sought.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit operating as a service cooperative under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), issued the RFP on behalf of multiple Washington counties—Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima—and numerous other jurisdictions, public entities, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada. The cooperative purchasing structure reserves the resulting contract(s) for future utilization through participating addenda, allowing selected vendors to supply law enforcement equipment across a broad spectrum of public-sector organizations. Vendors submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; the solicitation does not identify set-asides, incumbent vendors, or specific budget ranges in available documentation. Questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
