UNSPSC 23281802: Physical vapor deposition rack

Type of rack used in vapor deposition coating operations. It holds the workpieces to be coated.

UNSPSC 23281802 Physical vapor deposition rack is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its technical scope. The single posted opportunity under this code is a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment — a category plainly unrelated to physical vapor deposition manufacturing equipment. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual solicitation suggests either a tagging error or a jurisdiction misusing the UNSPSC classification for a broad equipment category. State and local government procurement under this Commodity code does not currently reflect measurable demand for the specialized industrial equipment the code name implies.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, seeking law enforcement equipment solutions on behalf of participating entities across Washington State (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and numerous other public agencies, K-12 districts, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation establishes a contracting vehicle for thousands of potential users rather than a single agency procurement. No specific dollar values, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendors are identified in available solicitation documents. Given the absence of relevant opportunities and the mismatch between the code's technical scope and recent activity, pursue this code only if your firm manufactures or distributes physical vapor deposition equipment to public-sector research institutions or industrial facilities; otherwise, the signal is to watch or skip.
