UNSPSC 42192431 Cases for postmortem surgical instruments is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers law enforcement equipment storage and containment solutions procured through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Sourcewell cooperative (a Minnesota local government unit) issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 to establish a multi-jurisdiction contracting framework for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The scope encompasses equipment storage cases and related containment products used in forensic, investigative, or evidence-handling contexts within law enforcement operations. Issuing bodies participating in or eligible under the contract include county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington), state entities, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, and special-purpose government units nationwide.

Activity under the code concentrates in the Pacific Northwest, with the Sourcewell RFP anchored in Washington state counties and advertised under Washington's cooperative purchasing authority (RCW 39.34), though the resulting contract extends to participating entities throughout the United States and Canada. The RFP #061626 represents the primary recent opportunity, with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No set-aside designations, award values, or incumbent vendor information were disclosed in the solicitation materials. The cooperative structure allows selected vendors to serve a broad public-sector customer base under standardized contracting terms, making this a significant multi-year sourcing initiative for law enforcement equipment providers.
