UNSPSC 27111609: Electric wire straighteners

UNSPSC 27111609 Electric wire straighteners is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity on record is a Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) tagged to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution for Participating Entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions. The solicitation's scope — law enforcement equipment — does not align with the code's nominal focus on electric wire straighteners, suggesting either a tagging error or that wire straighteners are ancillary to a broader law enforcement equipment purchase. The code does not currently show active, directly relevant recent demand from state and local buyers.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is administering the procurement on behalf of participating jurisdictions including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, with the contract vehicle available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Without additional opportunities showing wire straighteners or similar equipment actually being solicited under this code, competitive pursuit under UNSPSC 27111609 does not appear actionable at present. Vendors offering law enforcement equipment or related products should verify their UNSPSC coding with Sourcewell before pursuing the RFP, as the code-opportunity mismatch suggests potential miscategorization in the procurement database.
