UNSPSC 30161505: Panels or paneling

UNSPSC 30161505 Panels or paneling (Commodity) covers modular wall, door, and window panels used in law enforcement and correctional training environments. State and local governments procure these products primarily as components of configurable training systems—most notably shoot house or breaching-simulation facilities where officers and correctional staff conduct realistic scenario-based exercises. The panels must meet demanding operational specifications, including resistance to simunition rounds, weather durability, and standardized weight profiles to enable field assembly without ground bolting. Issuing bodies under this code span state departments of corrections, county law enforcement agencies, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Sourcewell, a Minnesota state-chartered cooperative, aggregates demand across counties, municipalities, tribal governments, and public higher education and K-12 school districts, expanding market reach for law enforcement equipment frameworks that include panel systems.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and California. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Division of Adult Parole Operations issued RFQ 10834112 (due April 23, 2026) for a modular shoot house system delivering to RA McGee Correctional Training Facility in Galt, specifying one wall panel unit, four breach door modules, twelve door modules, and four window modules—each panel weighing 50 to 75 pounds and rated for simunition impact. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, establishing a cooperative contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of agencies nationwide. The California procurement offers 5 percent small-business price preference and 1 to 5 percent disabled veteran business enterprise incentive; delivery must occur within 120 calendar days with one-year manufacturer warranty and on-site training within 30 days of completion.
