UNSPSC 32111515: Optical diode

A diode that either emits light or is sensitive to it

UNSPSC 32111515 Optical diode is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses optical and electro-optical components procured as part of broader law enforcement and public safety equipment programs. State and local governments buy optical diodes as components within integrated systems — surveillance cameras, targeting equipment, detection devices, and related law enforcement technology — rather than as standalone items. The issuing bodies pursuing this code include state cooperative purchasing units, county governments, school districts, and a broad base of public entities across multiple jurisdictions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, is the primary recent vehicle for this procurement activity, serving as the contracting intermediary for multiple county and municipal participants.

Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, represents the most recent significant activity under this code. The solicitation covers participating counties in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and extends to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by 3:30 p.m. Central Time, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The resulting contract will establish a framework available to participating entities for future procurement of law enforcement equipment solutions, leveraging collective buying power across the cooperative's broad membership base. No set-aside designations, incumbent vendor information, or specific budget values appear in the available documentation.
