NIGP 68012: Belts, Cases, Holsters, Scabbards, etc.

NIGP 68012 Belts, Cases, Holsters, Scabbards, Etc., an Item code, covers law enforcement duty belts, tactical holsters molded to specific firearm platforms, transport cases for weapons and equipment, and related field-grade carrying and containment systems that state and local governments procure for sworn personnel. Recent solicitations show state attorneys general, county law enforcement, state police, independent school districts, and municipal police departments acquiring duty belts with buckle hardware, handgun holsters configured for optics and weapon lights, rigid foam and crushproof cases with wheels for secure transport, magazine pouches, and associated duty gear—typically in quantities ranging from dozens to hundreds of units per line item. Issuing bodies span state agencies, county governments, municipal police departments, and school district police services, with repeat activity from Texas state agencies, Georgia counties, North Carolina municipalities, and Florida counties. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the Texas Office of the Attorney General each posted multiple specifications covering both belt systems and holster sets across their respective law enforcement divisions.

Recent solicitations concentrate in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Florida.
