UNSPSC 23231801: Knife clamp

UNSPSC 23231801 Knife clamp is a Commodity code that describes equipment clamping or holding devices procured by state and local governments primarily as components within broader law enforcement equipment packages. State and local activity under this code shows up in cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional RFPs rather than standalone knife-clamp solicitations; the recent Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment illustrates the typical buying pattern — individual clamping components or subassemblies are acquired as part of integrated equipment solutions for public safety agencies. Issuing bodies range across state government units, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose districts participating in cooperative frameworks; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, represents the coordinating entity for this particular effort, with participating jurisdictions including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, plus numerous other governmental agencies across the United States and Canada.

Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, is the most recent relevant opportunity and demonstrates the geographic scope of activity under this code — the solicitation targets law enforcement equipment solutions available to thousands of public entities including counties, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. The RFP is advertised under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) and requires vendor submission through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations, award values, or specific budget ranges appear in the publicly available documentation. The resulting contract will establish a framework for participating entities to access law enforcement equipment, including component assemblies like knife clamps, as needed through future addenda.
