UNSPSC 15121522: Weapon lubricating oils

UNSPSC 15121522 Weapon lubricating oils is a Commodity code that encompasses gun cleaning solvents, oils, and related maintenance supplies sold as components within larger law enforcement protective equipment and training kits. State and local governments procure these products primarily as line items within blanket supply contracts for police training academies, sworn officer equipment provisioning, and patrol unit maintenance. The recent solicitations show that issuing bodies include state departments of public safety, municipal police departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdiction law enforcement networks. Scope spans small micro-purchase requirements contracts for routine gun cleaning supplies and accessories, as well as larger blanket contracts bundling oils and solvents with brushes, rods, patches, and storage components for recruit training. The Texas Department of Public Safety and City of Philadelphia are active recent buyers in this space, along with Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based cooperative) and Rockland County, New York, which established a statewide cooperative contract covering ammunition and related law enforcement consumables.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, New York, North Carolina, and Minnesota. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued IFB 26R0013253 on June 11, 2026, for complete gun cleaning kits with a response deadline of May 14, 2026, covering 17 components including oils and solvents for approximately 160 recruits per class across 2–4 schools annually, with one-year contract term and optional six-month extension. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro-purchase solicitation (B2626961) effective April 23–June 30, 2026, for gun cleaning supplies and accessories with a due date of May 6, 2026, and a contract ceiling of $43,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Rockland County, New York, issued an accelerated RFB (RFBRC2026035) on April 9, 2026, due April 23, 2026, establishing a statewide cooperative contract for live and less-lethal ammunition and related supplies available to New York political subdivisions, with awards based on highest percentage discount off manufacturer MSRP and a one-year base term with three optional renewals. The City of Charlotte posted an RFP due July 29, 2026, for NIJ-compliant body armor with sizing and fitting services for sworn personnel across participating Mecklenburg County agencies, though oil and solvent procurement was not detailed in that solicitation. Texas requires HUB subcontracting compliance on qualifying contracts, and Philadelphia requires general liability and automotive insurance. Bid deposits, MSRP certification, and sample submission at vendor expense appear in select solicitations.
