NIGP 68034: Citation Issuance Devices and Supplies

NIGP 68034 Citation Issuance Devices and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses law enforcement equipment and protective gear that state and local police and public safety agencies procure to arm, protect, and equip sworn personnel and support operations. Recent solicitations show that governments are buying body armor compliant with National Institute of Justice standards, firearms and firearm accessories, on-street parking and curb management systems, and general law enforcement equipment through both direct municipal purchases and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies include city police departments, city departments of transportation, and regional cooperative purchasing units. The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department and the City of Charlotte Police Department are active buyers; Sourcewell, the Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, also solicits under this code on behalf of its participating member entities.

Georgia and North Carolina show recent activity. In September 2026, the Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted an invitation for bids (RFB No. 27-0010) to exchange 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR rifles with accessories, with sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET; bidders must hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a state firearm dealer license. In July 2026, the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation posted an IFB for on-street parking and curb management services due August 4, 2026, covering curbside optimization across the city. The City of Charlotte posted a solicitation in May 2026 for NIJ-compliant body armor, sizing, and fitting services for sworn law enforcement personnel, with proposals due July 29, 2026. Sourcewell posted a cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment on April 28, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026, seeking to establish a contracting solution for its member entities across the Upper Midwest.
