UNSPSC 31161901: Helical springs

UNSPSC 31161901 Helical springs, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a response due June 16, 2026—is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment offered by Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative on behalf of its participating entities. The solicitation scope encompasses law enforcement equipment broadly, not helical springs as a discrete product line; the code assignment appears to reflect a miscategorization or a narrow component role within a larger law enforcement equipment procurement rather than a direct demand for helical springs themselves. The issuing body is Sourcewell acting on behalf of multiple Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous other jurisdictions, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada, structured as a multi-entity cooperative purchasing framework.

Geographic activity under this code is limited to the Sourcewell cooperative's service territory, which spans Washington state and extends nationally and into Canada through its participating-entity network. The RFP #061626 represents the only recent opportunity on record; it establishes a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental and public entities but does not signal sustained demand for helical springs as a standalone procurement line item. Vendors interested in this opportunity must register on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, submit proposals by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, and direct procurement questions to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No specific budget, award values, set-asides, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in the available documentation.
