UNSPSC 31201515: Paper tapes

UNSPSC 31201515 Paper tapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicit infrequently as a standalone procurement. The recent activity recorded under this code does not reflect actual purchasing of paper tapes; instead, Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment — a scope that encompasses duty gear, protective equipment, and tactical supplies for law enforcement agencies rather than consumable paper-based products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation suggests that either the opportunity was miscoded or the code has fallen out of active use for its original purpose in state and local procurement. No other recent opportunities appear in the available record.

The single recent solicitation under this code—Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—represents a cooperative purchasing initiative spanning multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and thousands of participating governmental entities nationwide and in Canada. Sourcewell, acting as the contracting office on behalf of its Participating Entities, is seeking to establish a framework contract for law enforcement equipment available to counties, cities, school districts, tribal governments, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations. Vendors must register and submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Given the narrow recent activity and the scope mismatch, this code warrants close monitoring but is not currently a strong pursuit target for business development focused on paper-tape products.
