UNSPSC 20131002: Fluid spacers

UNSPSC 20131002 Fluid spacers is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—is tagged as law enforcement equipment procurement. The description provided does not identify fluid spacers as a discrete line item or component within that solicitation; the RFP appears to be a broad cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment generally, established through Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative unit acting under Washington state cooperative purchasing law) on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties and numerous other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. The solicitation structure allows selected vendors to supply law enforcement equipment to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments through a framework agreement.

The geographic scope of the Sourcewell initiative spans Washington state and participating jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada, though the specific recent activity is anchored in Washington counties. No other state or local solicitations under this code appear in the recent opportunities block. The Sourcewell RFP is the only concrete example of current state and local procurement tagged to this Commodity code, and the connection between the code's stated scope (fluid spacers) and the actual solicitation content (law enforcement equipment) is unclear. Vendors evaluating this code should verify whether fluid spacers are a specified component or subcontractor supply item within the Sourcewell framework or consider whether the code tagging represents a data-entry mismatch rather than genuine demand for this product category in state and local procurement right now.
