UNSPSC 30101716: Rubber beams

UNSPSC 30101716 Rubber beams is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy principally as components within assemblies and finished equipment rather than as standalone products. The recent opportunities block contains a single solicitation tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment—which shows a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement. The solicitation solicits complete law enforcement equipment solutions for use across multiple jurisdictions, not rubber beams or beam-related components. This divergence signals that either the tagging is imprecise or that rubber beams represent an incidental input to the bundled equipment offering. State and local procurement under this code appears limited or sporadic in the recent cycle; the single available record does not clarify whether rubber beams themselves are being actively solicited or simply embedded within a broader equipment procurement.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. The solicitation covers Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, plus numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The structure allows the selected vendor to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public sector entities through a participating addendum with Sourcewell. Proposals must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or award values are specified in the available documentation. Given the single and tangential recent posting, this code warrants monitoring for future activity but does not present a clear, current procurement vehicle for rubber beam suppliers at this time.
