UNSPSC 23101538: Woodworking jointer

A machine that is used to trim a side of lumber in order to create a flat surface on one edge of a board.

UNSPSC 23101538 Woodworking jointer is a Commodity code that describes specialized woodworking machinery, but the recent state and local contracting activity under this code shows no alignment with its nominal scope. The single recorded opportunity — Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline — is classified under law enforcement equipment procurement on behalf of a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities across the United States and Canada. The scope of work listed under this code in current state and local solicitations bears no relation to woodworking jointers or any woodworking machinery.

The mismatch between the code's product definition and the actual procurement activity recorded under it suggests either a classification error in the available opportunity data or minimal legitimate state and local buying activity for woodworking jointers through formal solicitations. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the primary issuing body in the recent record, acting as the contracting vehicle for participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, alongside other jurisdictions nationwide. The cooperative structure allows established contracting solutions to flow to a broad spectrum of public sector organizations. Vendors interested in this specific opportunity must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time; no bid documents are available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions system. Questions should be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No set-aside designations, specific award values, or incumbent contractors are identified in the available solicitation materials.
