UNSPSC 21102201: Decorticators

UNSPSC 21102201 Decorticators (Commodity) is a narrowly specialized equipment category that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes decorticators — machines that separate fiber from plant material — but the single recent opportunity tagged to this code is a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment, which falls outside the scope of decorticating machinery. State and local agencies do not appear to be actively procuring decorticators under this code at present.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative acting under RCW 39.34, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. The RFP seeks to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada, with initial participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state. Submissions must be made through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; the solicitation does not identify set-aside designations, award values, or specific budget ranges. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual solicitation suggests either a tagging error in the state or local procurement database or that decorticators are not a material procurement category under state and local contracts at this time.
