UNSPSC 41112506: Venturis

UNSPSC 41112506 Venturis is a Commodity code that captures law enforcement equipment components and assemblies used in tactical, emergency response, and field operations. State and local buyers source venturis—passive flow-control devices that operate without moving parts—primarily for compressed-air and pneumatic systems embedded in law enforcement gear, respiratory apparatus, and emergency equipment. The issuing-body mix includes state cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit), county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima counties in Washington), and broader networks of municipal, school district, tribal, and nonprofit entities that participate in multi-jurisdictional framework agreements. These cooperative structures allow a single procurement to establish terms and pricing available across hundreds of downstream public buyers rather than triggering individual solicitations per jurisdiction.

Recent activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Midwest through Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. The solicitation seeks to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies and public entities across the United States and Canada, with submission required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Participating counties include Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima in Washington state. The cooperative structure means that vendors selected under this framework will not serve a single buyer but rather a multi-state network of law enforcement, emergency-response, and public-safety organizations that adopt the resulting contract terms. Solicitation documents, amendments, and the question-and-answer process are managed exclusively through the Sourcewell portal; contact Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930 for general procurement inquiries.
