NIGP 25723: Bomb Detection Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 25723 Bomb Detection Equipment And Supplies is an Item code encompassing explosive detection and related protective systems for law enforcement and public safety use. State and local governments procure under this code to equip bomb disposal units, explosive detection canine programs, and counter-terrorism capabilities—buying EOD (Explosives Ordnance Disposal) suits compliant with NIJ Standard 0117.01, helmet systems with integrated communications and powered ventilation, rechargeable battery units, face shields for CBRNE operations, and related consumables and replacement components. Recent solicitations show police departments and state agencies as primary buyers, with specialized equipment meeting strict performance and certification standards as the dominant purchasing pattern. Oregon State Police and Gwinnett County (Georgia) Police Department both issued narrowly scoped RFQs and IFBs respectively for Med-Eng EOD 10E bomb suit ensembles in July 2026, each specifying full NIJ 0117.01 certification, integrated electronic earmuffs, and single-award structures. The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury included bomb suits and body armor as one of ten product categories in its statewide law enforcement equipment and technology procurement (Bid Solicitation #26DPP01214, T0106, due March 26, 2026), alongside firearms, ammunition, and related law enforcement gear available to more than 2,800 cooperative purchasing participants.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and mid-Atlantic regions, with recent solicitation volume concentrated in Oregon, Georgia, and New Jersey. Issuing bodies are predominantly state police departments and county law enforcement agencies; school districts have posted unrelated weapons detection system RFPs that do not represent bomb detection procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon State Police's July 17, 2026 RFQ for Med-Eng EOD 10E bomb suits (four suits, four helmet packages, four battery kits, three face shield kits) as a certified protective ensemble under brand-name-or-equal procurement authority recognizing Oregon SBE certification; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB BL106-26 (due July 24, 2026) for six line items including two complete EOD 10E suits, three helmet packages, three battery units, and individual replacement components, with delivery F.O.B. destination to the Gwinnett County Police Department; and New Jersey's statewide framework (due March 26, 2026) for body armor and bomb suits as one category within its broader law enforcement equipment contract extending to 2,800 cooperative purchasing participants with SBE and disabled veteran-owned business (DVOB) preferences applied at the mini-bid ordering phase.
