UNSPSC 30161806: Wardrobe

UNSPSC 30161806 Wardrobe is a Commodity code covering apparel and personal protective equipment that state and local governments procure for operational use. Recent solicitations show the code tagged to law enforcement equipment procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles, though the actual work being solicited—tactical gear, uniforms, and protective wear for sworn personnel—aligns broadly with the code's scope. State and local issuing bodies using the code include state cooperative purchasing units such as Sourcewell (Minnesota's local government cooperative), county public works and building services divisions, independent school districts, and municipal parks departments. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington state, Colorado, Texas, and Georgia, with Sourcewell serving participating entities across the United States and Canada through a single master contract vehicle that establishes pricing and terms for downstream procurement by thousands of public agencies.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response deadline June 16, 2026) to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution covering Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state plus other jurisdictions nationwide. The resulting contract is reserved for use by participating addendum, allowing multiple agencies to draw down standardized pricing and terms without individual competitive procurement. No recent opportunities show standalone apparel or wardrobe procurement by school districts, transit authorities, or municipal departments under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal name (Wardrobe) and the law enforcement equipment focus of the primary recent opportunity suggests limited current activity aligned directly to personal clothing and uniform supply. State and local procurement offices appear to source wardrobe items through broader equipment or supplies contracts rather than dedicated apparel solicitations under this Commodity code.
