UNSPSC 20121610: Feeder bit

Used in underground mining on feeder machines for crushing coal being sent to belt

UNSPSC 20121610 Feeder bit is a Commodity code that, based on recent solicitation activity, encompasses law enforcement equipment procurement by state and local agencies through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The single recent opportunity in the dataset shows limited current activity under this specific code designation, with the May 2026 Sourcewell solicitation tagged to feeder bit despite its explicit scope of broad law enforcement equipment procurement. State and local agencies do not appear to be soliciting drilling or construction-related feeder bits—the products commonly associated with the code's nominal classification—under this UNSPSC number in current public procurement. The mismatch between the code's definition and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either a coding anomaly in the state and local system or minimal authentic demand for feeder bits through state and local contracts at this time.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle on behalf of participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous jurisdictions nationwide. The cooperative procurement structure is designed to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Responses must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by 3:30 p.m. Central Time. No specific budget, award value, set-asides, or incumbent vendors are disclosed in available documentation. The code shows minimal recent relevant activity; prospective vendors should verify whether feeder-bit procurement aligns with actual state and local demand before committing business development resources.
