UNSPSC 45141611: Photographic processing temperature regulator

Equipment that adjusts the temperature to maintain the temperature of the developer consistently as the film is being developed.

UNSPSC 45141611 Photographic processing temperature regulator is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, appears to see minimal direct procurement demand. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment issued May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—frames the solicitation broadly around law enforcement equipment procurement without identifying photographic processing equipment or temperature regulation as a specified line item. The RFP establishes a cooperative purchasing vehicle through Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government service cooperative, to serve thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada, including participating Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima). The scope spans law enforcement equipment generally rather than narrowing to photographic processing or darkroom infrastructure, suggesting the code may be misaligned with the work actually being solicited or represents an incidental component within a broader equipment category.

The Sourcewell cooperative structure allows selected vendors to supply law enforcement equipment across multiple participating entities through a framework agreement. Geographic reach spans the United States and Canada through the cooperative's participating-entity network, though the recent posting originated from a Minnesota local government unit operating under Washington state law. No specific award value, budget range, set-asides, or incumbent vendors are identified in available solicitation materials. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal (https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov) and direct inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The minimal recent activity and the apparent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the law enforcement equipment category suggest limited ongoing procurement demand under this specific Commodity code at the state and local level.
