UNSPSC 27121501: Press return springs

UNSPSC 27121501 Press return springs is a Commodity code representing individual mechanical components used in law enforcement and tactical equipment. State and local governments procure press return springs primarily as component parts embedded in or integral to law enforcement gear—duty belts, holsters, magazine pouches, and similar equipment systems. The solicitations under this code reflect cooperative purchasing agreements that bundle component procurement with broader equipment acquisition frameworks. Issuing bodies include state and local cooperative purchasing vehicles (notably Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit), county governments, and public entities spanning Washington state jurisdictions including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties. The procurement structure channels component sourcing through larger law enforcement equipment consortia, meaning individual spring specifications typically emerge as line items within broader tactical and protective equipment contracts rather than standalone purchases.

Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with responses due June 16, 2026, exemplifies the code's current activity. This cooperative procurement establishes a law enforcement equipment contracting solution for thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The procurement encompasses participation from multiple Washington counties and operates under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), with vendor submission required exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest, with Washington state counties as named participating entities. No specific dollar values, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information are disclosed in the available solicitation materials.
