UNSPSC 22101708: Rippers

UNSPSC 22101708 Rippers, a Commodity code, represents equipment and tools used in law enforcement and construction contexts, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations spanning equipment procurement for police departments and specialized machinery for pavement rehabilitation work. State and local governments use this code to source attachments, hand tools, and specialized equipment across multiple functional areas — law enforcement agencies acquiring gear and protective equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and county public works departments procuring machinery and tools integral to road construction and maintenance projects. Issuing bodies include county governments, cooperative purchasing consortia operating under state law, and special-purpose districts; Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity, has emerged as a significant aggregator, issuing multi-jurisdictional solicitations that extend contracting solutions across thousands of public entities nationwide including K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Pacific Northwest and California. Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, targets law enforcement agencies across Washington state (Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County) and extends nationally and into Canada, establishing a contracting framework through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal for equipment distribution to public sector organizations. Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, procuring labor, materials, and equipment including partial depth recycling machinery, hot mix asphalt overlay equipment, and related pavement-rehabilitation tools with a 142 working-day completion window. The code shows activity in both cooperative purchasing and direct municipal procurement, with no reported set-aside designations or budget disclosures in the available documentation.
