UNSPSC 52152004: Domestic plates

UNSPSC 52152004 Domestic plates, a Commodity code, represents tableware and service items that state and local governments procure for institutional use, including cafeteria operations, correctional facilities, emergency services, and other public venues. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects a broader law enforcement and public-sector equipment procurement strategy rather than a narrow focus on plates alone — state and local issuing bodies tag equipment buys under this code when tableware or service ware constitutes one line item within a larger goods category. The issuing-body mix includes state cooperative purchasing vehicles (notably Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit), county governments, and special-purpose districts; these entities leverage cooperative purchasing frameworks to consolidate buying power across multiple jurisdictions and reduce procurement friction.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. The solicitation is structured as a multi-state cooperative procurement under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) and encompasses participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima in Washington, along with public entities nationwide and in Canada. Vendors submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal (https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov); no bid documents are available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions system. The resulting contract is intended to establish a framework agreement available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Geographic activity centers on Washington state counties and extends to multi-jurisdictional cooperative frameworks across the United States and Canada. No incumbent vendor, set-aside designation, or award value is identified in the available solicitation materials.
