UNSPSC 20121600: Drilling bits

UNSPSC 20121600 Drilling bits is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity on record — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026 — does not align with the code's nominal scope of drilling bits. The solicitation seeks law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, but drilling bits are not mentioned in the opportunity description or procurement scope.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code assignment and the actual procurement suggests either a tagging error in the source or that drilling bits are an incidental component of a broader law enforcement equipment framework agreement. Geographic activity is visible across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties are named participants) and the broader Sourcewell cooperative network, but the code shows no substantive recent state and local drilling-bit procurement activity. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the contracting office for this opportunity; inquiries should be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
