UNSPSC 25101713: Armored ambulance

Mine resistant, ambush protected, armored ambulance.

UNSPSC 25101713 Armored ambulance is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of purpose-built emergency medical vehicles with ballistic and blast protection for law enforcement, fire services, and emergency medical operations. State and local governments procure these vehicles infrequently but pursue them through both competitive sealed bids and sole-source awards when tactical or specialized medical transport needs arise. Recent solicitations show a narrow but active market: the City of Valdosta, Georgia issued a notice of intent to sole-source a Lenco BearCat G3 Core armored tactical vehicle to its Police Division, specifying Mil-Spec steel armor, .50 caliber ballistic certification, and integrated tactical systems; the same city also posted an RFQ for a 2026 or newer BearCat armored vehicle. These high-end tactical procurements sit at the specialized end of the code's scope, distinct from standard ambulance purchases that occupy adjacent UNSPSC codes. General emergency vehicle procurements—including standard ambulances, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles—dominate state and local spending under related codes, but armored ambulances represent a distinct product category driven by law enforcement and specialized medical transport requirements.

Issuers soliciting under this code include city police departments, county commissioners' offices, and regional airport authorities. The City of Valdosta dominates recent activity with two separate armored vehicle procurements within a six-week window. Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida. The most recent opportunities include the City of Valdosta's June 24, 2026 notice of intent to sole-source the Lenco BearCat G3 (objections due July 8, 2026), the City of Valdosta's June 1, 2026 RFQ for a 2026 or newer BearCat tactical armored vehicle (bids due June 23, 2026), and Broward County Aviation Department's March 31, 2026 RFI for a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle (responses due April 21, 2026). The code shows minimal recent volume—only three solicitations in the provided block directly target armored emergency vehicles—and most state and local procurement activity in the emergency vehicle space flows to standard (non-armored) ambulances, fire trucks, and rescue apparatus. Armored ambulance opportunities are pursued sporadically and often bypass competitive procurement in favor of sole-source or proprietary brand awards.
