UNSPSC 30102226: Butyl plate

A structural material made of butyl, a type of rubber used for several applications with resistance to exterior forces, good dielectric characteristics, low air permeability and resistance to paints.

UNSPSC 30102226 Butyl plate is a Commodity code that encompasses elastomeric materials used in law enforcement and public safety applications. State and local governments procure butyl plate primarily as a component within law enforcement equipment systems—specifically in ballistic protection, riot gear, vehicle shielding, and tactical equipment where the material's durability, chemical resistance, and impact absorption properties are critical. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional procurement frameworks rather than individual agencies acting alone. Sourcewell, the Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing service, drives visible activity through framework agreements that aggregate demand across counties, municipalities, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit entities spanning multiple states.

The most recent activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest. Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, exemplifies the sourcing pattern: the cooperative is establishing a law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County (Washington), plus numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Vendors submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with no documents distributed through state-specific electronic systems. No set-asides, dollar values, or incumbent vendors are identified in the available materials. The resulting contract establishes a master agreement available for optional participation by thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 districts, and nonprofits, giving individual entities flexibility in adoption timing and scope.
