Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, is the primary recent issuer under this code, soliciting law enforcement equipment through RFP #061626 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. The cooperative purchasing vehicle serves participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extends nationally to thousands of governmental agencies, K–12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. The solicitation structure allows vendors to establish framework agreements with Sourcewell that participating entities can access through addenda, broadening market reach across multiple jurisdictions and entity types. Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and reflects broader multi-state cooperative procurement patterns, though the source supports no other named recent opportunities under this specific code.
