UNSPSC 31161900: Springs

UNSPSC 31161900 Springs is a Class code that covers fastening and mechanical components, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on law enforcement equipment procurement rather than springs as discrete products. The single recent opportunity shows Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issuing a statewide RFP to establish a multi-jurisdiction contracting framework for law enforcement equipment available to public agencies, school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. The scope includes equipment procurement solutions deployed through cooperative purchasing agreements, suggesting the code may be capturing broad law enforcement supply categories or may be misaligned with the actual procurement intent.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with responses due June 16, 2026, on behalf of participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima in Washington state. The cooperative procurement structure allows selected vendors to supply law enforcement equipment to thousands of governmental entities through a master services agreement and subordinate addenda. No specific dollar values, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendors are disclosed in available documentation. The limited recent activity under this code and the disconnect between the nominal scope (Springs) and the solicited work (Law Enforcement Equipment) suggest either sparse procurement volume in the springs category among state and local buyers or potential code-tagging misalignment in the cooperative purchasing system.
