UNSPSC 52161538: Video tape rewinders

UNSPSC 52161538 Video tape rewinders, a Commodity code, covers physical rewinding devices for magnetic tape media — equipment that state and local governments procure primarily as ancillary components within law enforcement, corrections, and archival operations where video evidence or recordings require on-site rewinding capability. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, municipal police departments, school districts, and cooperative purchasing authorities such as Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and public entities. The scope reflects legacy equipment procurement, as video tape rewinding remains relevant in public-sector operations that maintain recorded evidence on magnetic media alongside or separate from digital storage systems.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle available to participating entities across Washington state (including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and hundreds of other jurisdictions nationwide. The cooperative purchasing structure allows selected vendors to supply equipment to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and tribal governments through a single master agreement. Submissions are restricted to Sourcewell's Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; vendors contact Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930 for questions. The solicitation identifies no set-aside designations, budget ranges, or incumbent vendors in available documentation. Recent activity under this code is limited; the single posted opportunity reflects cooperative purchasing as the primary acquisition vehicle for law enforcement equipment categories that include video tape rewinding devices.
