UNSPSC 41111523: Weight prototype

An object or device that sets the standard to define the measurement unit of weight. The device has to be able to easily measure of the change by observation even if the indicated volume is slightly changed, and it has to maintain its property and unit shown for a long time.

UNSPSC 41111523 Weight prototype is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, a cooperative purchasing procurement for law enforcement equipment issued on behalf of the State of Minnesota's local government unit and service cooperative. This solicitation solicits proposals to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment — tactical gear, weapons systems, protective equipment, and related apparel — rather than weight-measurement instruments or scales as the code's name suggests. The mismatch indicates either a miscoding in the source system or a divergence between the code's formal definition and how it has been applied in practice. Sourcewell, acting as the contracting entity, structured this as a framework agreement available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada.

The opportunity posted on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, drew participation from Washington State counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, though the cooperative's reach extends nationally and into Canada. Vendors must submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and direct inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The solicitation documentation does not identify set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or specific award values. The code shows limited identifiable recent activity aligned with weight-prototype procurement; the single recent opportunity represents a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment rather than measurement instruments.
