UNSPSC 23281801: Electroplating rack

Electroplating racks are used in electrochemical plating operations. They hold the workpieces to be plate and are electrically conductive at certain contact points, to enable the plating process. Noncontact surfaces are covered with insulating material.

UNSPSC 23281801 Electroplating rack is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity with minimal recent direct sourcing. The single recent opportunity linked to this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026, structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle for Law Enforcement Equipment across multiple jurisdictions. The solicitation framing—law enforcement equipment broadly—does not clearly align with electroplating rack procurement, suggesting the code may have been applied as a catch-all or subordinate line item within a larger law enforcement equipment buying effort rather than a primary category of goods being acquired. State and local government usage of electroplating racks, when it occurs, typically supports equipment maintenance and metal finishing operations at public works facilities, fleet maintenance centers, or industrial operations under state department or county jurisdiction.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued the RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County (Washington state) plus numerous other jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada. The cooperative purchasing model expands potential reach to K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments across multiple states. Geographic concentration in the recent record is limited to Washington state counties named in the Sourcewell RFP; no other state or local solicitations under this specific code appear in the recent opportunities block. Proposals were due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, with no set-asides, disadvantaged-enterprise designations, or award values specified in available documentation.
