UNSPSC 45111605: Transparency equipment or supplies

UNSPSC 45111605 Transparency equipment or supplies (Commodity) covers optical and visual-access equipment purchased by state and local law enforcement and public-safety agencies, including riot shields, protective barriers, observation windows, and similar transparency products used in tactical operations and facility security. State and local governments procure these items primarily through law enforcement supply cooperatives and multi-jurisdictional purchasing agreements that consolidate demand across counties, cities, and special-purpose public entities. The solicitations under this code reflect a shift toward cooperative purchasing frameworks that standardize procurement terms while allowing participating agencies to purchase equipment independently against the resulting contract.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, is the primary recent issuing body under this code. The cooperative issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment serving participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state, as well as thousands of public entities nationwide and in Canada. The RFP, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, seeks to establish a master contract available to governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Proposals must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no solicitation documents are available through other channels. No specific set-aside designations, incumbent vendor names, or award values are disclosed in the available documentation.
