UNSPSC 30102416: Rubber rods

UNSPSC 30102416 Rubber rods is a Commodity code that captures elastomeric rod stock and similar shaped materials used in industrial, municipal, and specialized applications. Recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct procurement volume; the single identified recent opportunity—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—tags rubber rods as a subordinate component within a broader law enforcement equipment framework agreement rather than as a primary procurement target. The Sourcewell cooperative, a Minnesota local government unit acting under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), structured this RFP to establish contracting solutions available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation does not identify specific set-aside designations, award values, or budget ranges in available documentation.

Geographic spread in recent opportunities centers on the Pacific Northwest jurisdictions participating directly in the Sourcewell framework—Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state—though the cooperative structure extends potential reach nationally and into Canada. Vendors pursue this code primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than direct municipal or county RFPs; no independent school district, transit authority, or special-purpose district solicitations for rubber rods appear in recent activity. The rubber rods category itself remains quiet at the state and local level, with opportunities tagged under this code typically embedded within larger equipment or maintenance contracts rather than procured as standalone line items. Interested vendors should monitor Sourcewell's Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov for framework opportunities and direct questions to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
