UNSPSC 27131609: Pneumatic silencers

UNSPSC 27131609 Pneumatic silencers, a Commodity code, describes noise-control devices used in compressed-air systems and equipment across state and local operations. State and local governments procure pneumatic silencers as components within law enforcement equipment packages, maintenance and field operations, and infrastructure projects where pneumatic tools and machinery require sound suppression. The code appears in cooperative purchasing frameworks and equipment-supply solicitations where pneumatic silencers are bundled with broader equipment or system acquisitions rather than procured as standalone items. Issuing bodies soliciting under or adjacent to this code include state cooperative purchasing units (such as Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota local government), counties, and transit or infrastructure authorities. Activity spans multiple jurisdictions and entity types, from police departments and public works to higher education and K-12 districts participating in cooperative agreements.

Recent activity shows limited direct visibility under this code. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and beyond, which may include pneumatic silencers as components within equipment packages available to thousands of governmental agencies. A second recent opportunity — Santa Clara County's ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026) — focuses on pavement work, signage, and traffic infrastructure and shows no apparent connection to pneumatic silencers. The code sees minimal standalone solicitation activity among recent state and local opportunities; most procurement likely occurs as an embedded component within broader equipment or systems contracts rather than as a discrete line item.
