UNSPSC 44103601: Cassette or tape shredders

UNSPSC 44103601 Cassette or tape shredders (Commodity) covers document destruction equipment maintenance and law enforcement supplies tagged under this equipment code in recent state and local solicitations. The code's actual scope varies — one recent opportunity groups it within a broader law enforcement equipment cooperative contract, while another targets maintenance services for shredding equipment specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county governments, cities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities across the United States and Canada.

Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions and public entities (due June 16, 2026). The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department simultaneously solicited shredder maintenance quotes (IQB B2726980, due May 21, 2026) under small order purchase terms. The geographic spread spans Washington State jurisdictions and Pennsylvania, with the Sourcewell cooperative extending reach across the United States and Canada. The two recent opportunities signal divergent procurement patterns — the Sourcewell RFP treats equipment broadly within law enforcement purchasing frameworks, while Philadelphia's micro purchase addresses maintenance services for existing equipment. Set-asides appear selectively: Philadelphia applies Local Business Enterprise preference under Chapter 17-109 for certified LBEs on small order purchases, and a 60-day quote validity window applies to Philadelphia's procurement. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in available documentation.
