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 represents equipment used in law enforcement and forensic imaging operations. State and local governments are soliciting this category primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The single recent opportunity on record—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—demonstrates that automated film processors are being procured as part of broader law enforcement equipment frameworks rather than as standalone line items. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is administering the procurement on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The resulting contract(s) will be available for use by thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities through a participating addendum model.

The geographic spread extends across multiple states, with recent activity centered in Washington counties but with national and Canadian scope through Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing framework. Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with responses due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, represents the primary recent opportunity under this code. Vendors must submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; solicitation documents are not available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions system. The solicitation does not identify set-aside designations, specific award values, or budget ranges. Contact for questions is Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
