UNSPSC 46182102: Heel grounding straps

UNSPSC 46182102 Heel grounding straps, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized electrical safety equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement and facility operations. Heel grounding straps—conductive devices worn to safely discharge static electricity—appear in state and local solicitations primarily as components of broader law enforcement equipment packages rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include regional cooperative purchasing organizations serving multiple jurisdictions, school districts, and county governments. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, has posted recent procurement for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states including Washington, where Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County participate alongside thousands of other governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits.

Activity under the code is sparse in the recent record. Only one opportunity explicitly related to law enforcement equipment procurement—Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—mentions equipment acquisition that could encompass heel grounding straps as part of a larger law enforcement equipment contracting solution. The second recent opportunity tagged to this code, Klein Independent School District's RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources (posted April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026), addresses instructional supplies and CTE equipment with no apparent connection to grounding safety equipment or law enforcement procurement, suggesting the code tagging does not reflect actual purchasing intent in that case. Geographic activity is concentrated in Washington state and Texas based on the available records, though the Sourcewell cooperative extends reach across multiple states and Canada. The code shows minimal demonstrated volume in recent state and local procurement.
