UNSPSC 20122104: Perforating explosives

UNSPSC 20122104 Perforating explosives is a Commodity code that captures products state and local law enforcement and public safety agencies procure for tactical and operational use. The single recent opportunity in the source reflects a broad cooperative purchasing framework rather than a narrow explosives-focused solicitation. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on behalf of Participating Entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, plus numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. The code's recent activity shows procurement through cooperative vehicles that consolidate buying power across multiple issuing bodies — state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose districts — rather than through individual jurisdictional RFPs.

The geographic spread of the single posted opportunity spans Washington state counties with broader availability across the United States and Canada through the Sourcewell cooperative framework. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment closed June 16, 2026 and solicited proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with general inquiries directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The solicitation does not identify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, specific award values, or budget ranges in available documentation. This represents a significant cooperative purchasing initiative designed to streamline procurement and leverage collective buying power across multiple jurisdictions, though the code shows limited recent activity specifically tagged to perforating explosives as a discrete commodity line.
