UNSPSC 23281504: Barrel plating machine

A type of electro plating machine that brings the workpiece into contact with an electrolyte while rotating in a perforated hardwood barrel.

UNSPSC 23281504 Barrel plating machine is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect plating equipment purchases. Sourcewell, a Minnesota state cooperative purchasing organization, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response deadline June 16, 2026) to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution for its Participating Entities, including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, plus numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The procurement seeks to create a framework enabling thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments to access standardized law enforcement equipment through a single cooperative agreement. The solicitation does not disclose specific product categories, dollar values, set-aside designations, or award structures in the available documentation.

The recent activity shows minimal geographic concentration — the RFP encompasses multi-state and cross-border scope through the Sourcewell cooperative model rather than a single jurisdiction. Sourcewell itself acts as the issuing body on behalf of its participating entities, and the resulting contract(s) will be reserved for future utilization through participating addendums. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time; all solicitation documents are available exclusively through that portal, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The code shows minimal recent relevant activity aligned with barrel plating equipment; the single posted opportunity addresses law enforcement equipment procurement broadly under a cooperative purchasing framework, suggesting a potential mismatch between the code assignment and the actual scope of work being solicited.
