UNSPSC 12131507: Ammonium nitrate explosives

UNSPSC 12131507 Ammonium nitrate explosives, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve law enforcement protective equipment and ammunition procurement — body armor compliant with National Institute of Justice standards, live and less-lethal ammunition, and riot-control gases and grenades — rather than ammonium nitrate explosives for mining, quarrying, or demolition applications. State and local governments do solicit law enforcement ammunition and protective gear through RFPs and RFBs, but the code assignment appears to be a classification mismatch rather than evidence of active ammonium nitrate explosives procurement by public bodies.

The three recent opportunities include the City of Charlotte's RFP for body armor (Solicitation 2692026221, response due July 29, 2026) serving Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, seeking law enforcement equipment proposals through its statewide participating-entity network (Solicitation 26RFP061626, due June 16, 2026); and Rockland County, New York, issuing an accelerated RFB for live ammunition, less-lethal ammunition, and less-lethal gases and grenades available to law enforcement agencies across New York State under General Municipal Law Section 103(3) cooperative purchasing authority (Solicitation RFBRC2026035, due April 23, 2026). The geographic spread spans North Carolina, New York, and Minnesota. No recent state or local solicitations for ammonium nitrate explosives proper appear in the available records, suggesting this code is not actively generating procurement opportunities in the state and local market at present.
