UNSPSC 25111514: Icebreaker

A special purpose ship used to navigate through ice-covered seas.

UNSPSC 25111514 Icebreaker, a Commodity code, encompasses law enforcement equipment procurement by state and local jurisdictions through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct solicitations. State and local governments buy icebreaker equipment — primarily specialized vessels and related apparatus for breaking ice on waterways — under this code, though recent activity shows the code being applied more broadly to law enforcement equipment frameworks. Issuing bodies include state departments, counties, municipalities, and cooperative purchasing units such as Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government service cooperative that aggregates demand across thousands of participating public entities including counties, cities, school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. The cooperative structure allows a single procurement to establish contracting solutions available to multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, reducing procurement cycles for individual agencies.

Geographic concentration centers on the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest, with recent activity anchored in Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and coordination through Minnesota-based Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities throughout the United States and Canada. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time; the solicitation documents and submission portal were located exclusively on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with inquiries directed to rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The resulting contract was structured to allow flexibility in deployment across participating addenda rather than a single award, and no specific budget range or set-aside designations were identified in available documentation.
