UNSPSC 45121709: Automated film processor

An automated device which makes visible the latent image on a film by transporting it automatically through specialized sections where developing, fixing, washing and drying of the film occur.

UNSPSC 45121709 Automated film processor is a Commodity code that covers imaging and document capture equipment used across state and local law enforcement and administrative operations. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code reflects demand for law enforcement equipment platforms and systems; the abstract code name does not capture the breadth of what agencies are actually buying. Issuing bodies span state cooperative purchasing vehicles, county governments, and special-purpose districts. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the primary recent buyer, conducting a broad-based procurement to establish contracting solutions for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest, with Sourcewell's RFP #061626 drawing participation from Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and broader coverage across the United States and Canada. Sourcewell issued an RFP on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, seeking to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; no bid documents are available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions (WEBS) system. Questions and general procurement inquiries may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The resulting contract(s) will be reserved for potential future utilization through participating addenda with Sourcewell, allowing flexibility in deployment across participating entities and leveraging collective buying power across multiple jurisdictions.
