UNSPSC 20121431: Inflatable packer

A type of packer that uses an inflatable bladder to expand the packer element against the casing or wellbore.

UNSPSC 20121431 Inflatable packer, a Commodity code, reflects state and local government procurement of specialized equipment used in law enforcement and emergency response operations. The inflatable packer—a tool deployed in tactical situations, search and rescue, or evidence handling—appears in recent solicitations as part of broader law enforcement equipment bundles rather than standalone line items, indicating that state and local buyers source these devices as components within larger equipment procurement frameworks.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to participating public entities across multiple states. The cooperative procurement structure encompasses Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, along with other jurisdictions, school districts, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation represents a multi-entity purchasing vehicle rather than a single issuing agency, expanding the potential market scope for vendors selected under the resulting contract. All submission and documentation access occurs through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; general inquiries directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No award value, budget range, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information was published in available documentation. The resulting contract(s) will be reserved for use by participating addendum members, allowing flexibility in deployment across multiple jurisdictions.
