UNSPSC 31161906: Disk springs

UNSPSC 31161906 Disk springs, a Commodity code, covers mechanical spring components that state and local governments procure primarily as subassemblies or replacement parts within larger equipment systems. Recent activity shows the code tagged to law enforcement equipment procurement, though disk springs themselves—load-bearing metal components used in suspension, sealing, or fastening applications—appear as specification items within broader equipment bundles rather than standalone purchases. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code include cooperative purchasing authorities (such as Sourcewell), multi-county consortia, and participating public entities including law enforcement agencies, transit authorities, and municipal departments. The cooperative purchasing vehicle dominates recent activity, with vendors typically submitting proposals to framework agreements that serve multiple jurisdictions simultaneously rather than responding to individual agency RFPs.

A Sourcewell RFP #061626 issued on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions across Washington and nationwide solicits Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 proposal deadline. The cooperative structure allows the resulting contract to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Geographic spread extends across Washington state and multiple other states participating in the Sourcewell framework, though the recent opportunity block does not identify concentration in any single state beyond Washington's named counties. The solicitation does not disclose specific award values, set-aside designations, or technology requirements in available documentation. Vendors submit exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; questions go to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
