NIGP 68076: Racks, Gun (see 055-74 for Vehicle Racks)

NIGP 68076 Racks, Gun (Item) encompasses firearms storage, mounting, and secure transport equipment for law enforcement, corrections, and public-safety personnel. State and local governments procure gun racks as part of broader law enforcement equipment packages — vehicle-mounted firearm storage systems, evidence room securing fixtures, armory organizational solutions, and mobile deployment racks for tactical operations. The code appears most prominently in statewide law enforcement equipment procurements and municipal police department supply contracts. Recent activity shows these items solicited alongside body armor, firearms, ammunition, duty gear, and in-car video systems rather than as standalone purchases, reflecting how agencies bundle protective and operational gear in consolidated RFP cycles.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Region 14 ESC serving 42 school districts across 13 counties), New Jersey, and North Carolina, with cooperative purchasing vehicles extending reach to statewide and nationwide participant agencies.
