NIGP 68095: Tools, Gunsmith's: Borescopes, etc.

NIGP 68095 Tools, Gunsmith's: Borescopes, Etc. is an Item code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under it. The three opportunities present in the record show law enforcement agencies and state water resources departments procuring firearms and embedded piping services — neither of which falls within gunsmith's tools or borescopes. The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted two RFBs (Nos. 27-0004 and 27-0010) for trade or credit transactions involving used and confiscated firearms exchanged for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR rifles with accessories, requiring bidders to hold current Federal Firearm Licenses and state dealer licenses. The City of Charlotte issued an RFP for NIJ-compliant body armor for sworn law enforcement personnel with sizing and fitting services. California's Department of Water Resources posted two separate IFBs (Nos. 10213699 and 10213720) for repair, maintenance, replacement, refurbishment, installation, testing, and inspection of embedded piping systems in Northern and Southern California hydroelectric facilities.

Issuing bodies in the recent record include municipal police departments (Columbus and Charlotte) and a state water agency (California). Geographic activity centers on Georgia and California with one opportunity in North Carolina. The Columbus Police Department appears as a repeat buyer of firearms-related services across two separate solicitations posted in August and September 2026, both with October response deadlines. No opportunities bearing directly on gunsmith's tools, borescopes, or related diagnostic equipment appear in the recent posting record for this code.
