UNSPSC 20122840: Crown blocks

UNSPSC 20122840 Crown blocks, a Commodity code, encompasses law enforcement equipment procurement in state and local markets. Based on recent solicitation activity, state and local governments are buying crowd control and riot gear equipment—including protective devices, restraints, and related law enforcement apparel and accessories—through cooperative purchasing frameworks that serve multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. The issuing bodies span state cooperative purchasing vehicles, county governments, K–12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and special-purpose districts. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the primary issuing body visible in recent activity, administering cooperative contracts on behalf of participating entities that include Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with public entities throughout the United States and Canada.

The code shows activity in Washington state and the broader Upper Midwest through Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing network. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, seeking law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline; the resulting contract is structured as a cooperative purchasing agreement available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments through a participating addendum model. Proposals were submitted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, with general inquiries directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The solicitation does not publicly identify set-aside designations, specific award values, or incumbent vendors.
