UNSPSC 25111535: Cable laying ships

A ship that is used to install or repair cable for power or communication on sea bed.

UNSPSC 25111535 Cable laying ships is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it does not reflect cable-laying or maritime vessel work. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 to establish a contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada. The solicitation encompasses participating counties in Washington State (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) alongside numerous other jurisdictions, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits. Proposals were due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time via the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the law enforcement equipment opportunity posted under this code appears to be a tagging misalignment rather than genuine maritime or vessel procurement.

The geographic scope of the cooperative spans Washington State counties and extends nationally across the United States and Canada, though the source does not detail concentration across specific states or regions beyond the named Washington counties. Sourcewell serves as the contracting office on behalf of its participating entities, creating a framework agreement model that allows selected vendors to serve multiple public sector customers through a single cooperative vehicle. No set-asides, disadvantaged enterprise designations, budget ranges, or specific technology requirements were identified in available documentation. Vendors wishing to pursue this opportunity must establish a free account on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal and direct procurement inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
