UNSPSC 23232001: Knife holder

UNSPSC 23232001 Knife holder, a Commodity code, covers knife storage and retention equipment that state and local agencies procure as part of broader law enforcement and facility equipment programs. State and local governments buy knife holders in bundle with other equipment — particularly law enforcement gear — rather than as standalone items, and the purchasing pattern reflects cooperative procurement through multi-jurisdictional frameworks rather than individual agency buys. The issuing bodies span county sheriffs' offices, city police departments, and state law enforcement agencies, along with school districts and other public entities that participate in cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell agreements.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution with response due June 16, 2026. The procurement encompasses Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, including municipalities, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. The cooperative structure allows participating jurisdictions to draw on the resulting contract(s) through addendum agreements, creating a standardized vehicle for equipment sourcing across disparate agencies. Vendors submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; solicitation documents are not available through Washington's WEBS system. No set-aside designations, specific award values, or incumbent vendor information are disclosed in the available documentation.
