NIGP 68068: Polygraph Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 68068 Polygraph Equipment and Supplies is an Item code under which state and local law enforcement agencies solicit protective equipment and firearms-related goods, though recent activity in this specific code appears limited. The scope of work encompasses body armor and related law enforcement protective gear meeting National Institute of Justice standards, as well as firearms transactions including used and confiscated weapons exchanges. Issuing bodies include municipal police departments and city purchasing offices coordinating across multiple jurisdictions within a single metropolitan area.

The City of Charlotte Police Department posted an RFP in May 2026 for NIJ-compliant body armor with sizing and fitting services for sworn personnel, with proposals due July 29, 2026, serving the City of Charlotte and participating agencies within Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department issued an IFB in September 2026 for a trade or credit transaction involving 306 used and confiscated firearms and seven upper receivers exchanged for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles, with sealed bids due October 14, 2026. Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in North Carolina and Georgia, though the limited number of posted solicitations under this code suggests lower procurement volume overall compared to other NIGP categories.
