UNSPSC 23121603: Buttonhole machines

UNSPSC 23121603 Buttonhole machines is a Commodity code with minimal current activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity in the source—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—does not appear to align with buttonhole-machine procurement. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is soliciting law enforcement equipment to establish a contracting framework for thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The scope of this cooperative purchasing vehicle encompasses a broad category of law enforcement gear rather than specialized garment-manufacturing equipment, suggesting either a miscoding of the opportunity or minimal recent demand for buttonhole machines under this UNSPSC designation within state and local government procurement channels.

The geographic scope of the Sourcewell cooperative extends nationally and into Canada, with named participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state. However, given that the primary recent opportunity in the record does not clearly correspond to buttonhole-machine procurement, the code shows little relevant activity to guide targeted business development. Vendors interested in law enforcement equipment procurement through Sourcewell should access the full solicitation documents through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
