UNSPSC 25102000: War vehicles

UNSPSC 25102000 War vehicles is a Class code covering armored tactical vehicles and law enforcement vehicle modification systems that state and local governments procure for police departments and public safety agencies. Recent solicitations show two distinct procurement streams: acquisition of complete armored vehicles (primarily Lenco BearCat tactical armored vehicles for direct police deployment) and competitive supply agreements for law enforcement vehicle upfit equipment (push bars, partitions, storage systems, K-9 enclosures, and associated duty-profile accessories installed on standard police pursuit vehicles). Cities and county governments drive the tactical vehicle demand, while state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles create multi-jurisdiction frameworks to reduce procurement cycle time and cost for participating agencies. The City of Valdosta, Georgia appears as a repeat buyer, issuing both a competitive RFQ and a sole-source notice of intent for BearCat vehicles within weeks of each other; the City of Phoenix issued an IFB for comprehensive vehicle modification services; and the City of Brookhaven, Georgia sought electric police pursuit vehicles aligned with fleet sustainability goals.

The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services established statewide cooperative purchasing agreements for law enforcement vehicle upfit equipment covering Washington and Oregon, with bids due July 24, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on June 16, 2026—the largest recent procurement framework under this code by geographic reach and eligible-purchaser scope. The City of Valdosta, Georgia posted a sole-source notice of intent to award Lenco a BearCat G3 Core tactical armored vehicle with proprietary armor, roof-hatch systems, and Aberdeen Test Center ballistic certification (response deadline July 8, 2026). The County of Santa Clara, California solicited 800 units of NIJ 0101.06 Level III rifle-resistant plates through ITB with a February 18, 2026 deadline. Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon cooperative agreements), the South (Georgia cities), and California, with sporadic activity elsewhere; the code shows active procurement momentum driven by public safety modernization, vehicle fleet electrification goals, and standardized upfit supply consolidation.
