UNSPSC 44101901: Check endorsing machines

UNSPSC 44101901 Check endorsing machines, a Commodity code, describes equipment used in law enforcement and financial operations to process and verify checks and payment instruments. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional procurement consortia, though the single recent opportunity in the dataset represents a broad-based cooperative framework rather than a direct purchase. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 seeking to establish a contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The RFP encompasses participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other jurisdictions, reflecting the scope of Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing mandate rather than a single agency's direct procurement need.

The geographic footprint of this opportunity spans multiple states and provinces, with Washington counties prominently named in the solicitation structure. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 closed on June 16, 2026, requiring submissions through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no separate WEBS posting was made. The cooperative purchasing structure means the resulting contract will serve as a master agreement for participating entities to place orders as needed, rather than a single large purchase. The solicitation does not specify set-asides, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or award values in available documentation. Given the single recent opportunity in the dataset and its cooperative-purchasing nature, check endorsing machines see limited direct solicitation activity at the state and local level; opportunities under this code typically flow through cooperative frameworks rather than standalone RFPs from individual jurisdictions.
