UNSPSC 20122816: Kelly bushings

UNSPSC 20122816 Kelly bushings is a Commodity code representing mechanical fastening and bearing components that state and local governments acquire as part of broader law enforcement equipment, fleet maintenance, and heavy equipment procurement programs. The code sees limited direct solicitation as a standalone line item; instead, kelly bushings appear as component specifications within larger equipment packages managed through cooperative purchasing agreements and framework contracts. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county sheriffs' offices, municipal police departments, and public works agencies that maintain vehicle fleets and law enforcement equipment inventories. Sourcewell, Minnesota's cooperative purchasing unit, serves as a notable aggregating buyer for multiple jurisdictions, consolidating demand across participating counties and municipalities to achieve volume pricing on equipment containing mechanical components like kelly bushings.

Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, closing June 16, 2026, to establish law enforcement equipment contracting solutions available to participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and other jurisdictions nationwide. The cooperative structure allows selected vendors to supply equipment to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments through a single framework agreement. Vendors must submit responses through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal exclusively; Mari Vielma (rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov, 888-894-1930) handles procurement inquiries. The solicitation does not publicly disclose set-aside designations, specific award values, or budget ranges. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest, where cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell manage multistate procurement initiatives for law enforcement and public-sector equipment needs.
