UNSPSC 22101709: Grapples

UNSPSC 22101709 Grapples, a Commodity code, represents equipment and tools used in law enforcement and specialized manual-handling applications. State and local governments procuring under this code seek handheld or vehicle-mounted grappling devices for evidence collection, debris removal, tactical operations, and similar functions. The issuing bodies span state cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as Sourcewell, Minnesota's statewide local government cooperative), regional counties, and municipal agencies acquiring equipment for law enforcement, public works, and emergency response. Grapples appear in procurement activity both as standalone tactical equipment and as components within broader equipment packages offered through cooperative purchasing frameworks.

Recent opportunities show sparse direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota state cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 on behalf of its Participating Entities—including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, with participating jurisdictions across the United States and Canada—seeking Law Enforcement Equipment on a due date of June 16, 2026; the solicitation establishes a cooperative contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies and public entities, but does not itemize grapples or confirm their inclusion in the equipment scope. Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation (due May 21, 2026) specifying labor, materials, and equipment for pavement work, including partial depth recycling, asphalt overlay, and sidewalk installation—work unrelated to grappling equipment. The code shows minimal recent targeted procurement activity at the state and local level, with current opportunities appearing to be tangential rather than primary applications of grappling equipment.
