NIGP 68028: Bullet Traps

NIGP 68028 Bullet Traps, an Item code, encompasses protective equipment and ancillary supplies for law enforcement training and operational use, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of law enforcement protective and ammunition procurement. State and local governments buy body armor, ammunition (live, less-lethal, and specialty rounds), less-lethal devices, and related protective gear under this code. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices and municipal law enforcement agencies. The City of Charlotte and Rockland County, New York have posted recent solicitations; the latter represents a multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing vehicle available to political subdivisions across New York State.

Recent activity concentrates in the Northeast and Southeast. The City of Charlotte, North Carolina issued an RFP for NIJ-compliant body armor with sizing, fitting, and delivery services, due July 29, 2026. Rockland County, New York posted an accelerated RFB on April 9, 2026 (due April 23, 2026) to establish cooperative ammunition and less-lethal-device contracts spanning three lots—live ammunition from Federal, PMC, Remington, Sig Sauer, Vista/CCI/Speer, and Winchester; less-lethal ammunition from Combined Tactical Systems, FN America, Pepperball, Vista/Federal Force on Force, and UTM; and less-lethal gases and grenades from Avon Protection, CTS, Penn Arms, Rings Blue Guns, Sabre, and Defense Technology. The Rockland County procurement awards by manufacturer and product line at highest percentage discount off MSRP, with a one-year base term and three optional one-year renewals, and includes a $500.00 bid deposit requirement. Questions for the Rockland County solicitation were due April 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM.
