UNSPSC 23153412: Gullotine Shears

UNSPSC 23153412 Guillotine Shears is a Commodity code nominally for cutting equipment, but recent state and local procurement activity under it shows minimal relevance to the code's abstract scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 to procure law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. The solicitation establishes a master contracting framework available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal product category; the single recent opportunity tagged under it does not reflect guillotine shears or cutting equipment procurement.

The geographic scope of the Sourcewell cooperative spans Washington state counties and extends nationwide and into Canada, though the posted opportunity does not specify which state and local jurisdictions are most active in guillotine shears procurement. Proposals for RFP #061626 were due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Vendors should direct questions to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual solicitation scope suggests this code may not reflect genuine state and local demand for guillotine shears; business development professionals should verify actual procurement intent before investing in pursuit strategy under this classification.
