UNSPSC 20121727: Junk basket

Basket inside overshot which is used for collecting debris or metal particles during downhole fishing operations.

UNSPSC 20121727 Junk basket, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The one recent opportunity on record is a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment — a scope plainly outside the nominal "junk basket" category. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, seeking to establish a contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment to be made available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The solicitation does not identify specific award values, set-asides, or incumbent vendors in available documentation. Proposals were due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time via the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.

The code shows no other recent state or local opportunities in the source. The single RFP represents activity in Washington state and Minnesota (Sourcewell's administrative base), with participating counties in Washington including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima. However, the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the law enforcement equipment solicitation suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement for its intended purpose. A firm evaluating the code should clarify whether the law enforcement equipment opportunity is correctly attributed and monitor whether additional opportunities under the actual junk basket commodity emerge in the near term.
