UNSPSC 45141602: Developing tanks

UNSPSC 45141602 Developing tanks, a Commodity code, describes equipment used in law enforcement and tactical operations, though state and local governments currently solicit under this code primarily for law enforcement gear and protective equipment rather than literal tank development. The scope of work reflects protective and tactical equipment procurement — body armor, helmets, ballistic shields, and related officer safety gear — sourced through cooperative purchasing frameworks that pool demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types. Issuing bodies include state and local law enforcement agencies, counties, and special-purpose districts purchasing cooperatives; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, acts as the contracting vehicle on behalf of participating entities, enabling standardized procurement across thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada.

Recent activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and broader multi-jurisdictional cooperative procurement. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a due date of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, seeking proposals for Law Enforcement Equipment through its cooperative purchasing framework. The solicitation encompasses participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with numerous other jurisdictions and public entities nationwide. Vendors submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and may direct inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The resulting contract establishes a flexible contracting solution for participating entities to draw upon as needed, leveraging collective buying power and standardized terms across a broad geographic and organizational base.
