UNSPSC 21111502: Commercial fishing reels

UNSPSC 21111502 Commercial fishing reels is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The single recent state and local opportunity tagged to this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with responses due June 16, 2026 — solicits Law Enforcement Equipment, not commercial fishing reels. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied to the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle in error or as a catch-all category placeholder rather than reflecting actual procurement need for fishing equipment. The Sourcewell RFP does establish a framework contract available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, with participating Washington counties named including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima; however, the substantive work being procured under this posting is law enforcement equipment, not fishing reels.

Because the single recent opportunity is misaligned with the code's stated commodity, business development professionals should verify whether state and local procurement offices are actually buying commercial fishing reels under 21111502 through other channels or cooperative vehicles not reflected in the available source record. If purchasing activity under this code exists, it would likely come from natural resource management agencies, state wildlife or fisheries departments, or environmental protection bodies rather than law enforcement organizations. The Sourcewell portal (https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov) remains the point of contact for the law enforcement solicitation; queries on fishing equipment procurement under this code should be directed to the relevant state natural resource or environmental agency.
