UNSPSC 25102002: Armored fighting vehicles

UNSPSC 25102002 Armored fighting vehicles (Commodity) encompasses tactical armored vehicles and related law enforcement vehicle upfit equipment that state and local police and public works departments procure for field operations. Recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing procurement of complete armored vehicles—such as Lenco BearCat platforms—alongside modular vehicle modification services including ballistic protection systems, prisoner containment partitions, equipment mounts, push bars, K-9 enclosures, and light packages installed on patrol vehicles. Police departments and municipal public works agencies are the primary buyers; the City of Valdosta, Georgia has appeared twice in recent months (sole-source award to Lenco and competitive RFQ for a 2026 BearCat model), and the Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department has solicited firearms-for-credit swaps tied to tactical vehicle operations, suggesting active renewal cycles in municipal law enforcement fleets.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Washington, with multi-jurisdictional reach through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services has established statewide cooperative purchasing agreements for law enforcement vehicle upfit equipment serving Washington and Oregon, with bids due July 24, 2026, reserved awards for Washington Small Businesses and Certified Veteran-Owned Businesses, and a 36-month contract term (August 31, 2026 through August 30, 2029) with an optional 36-month extension covering push bars, console boxes, partitions, radio mounts, lock boxes, and K-9 enclosures across Ford and Chevrolet police utility vehicles. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB 26-FSD-028 for Specialized Vehicle Solutions (due December 10, 2025) to provide comprehensive vehicle modification services for the Phoenix Police Department on a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions, with DBE and small business participation required. The City of Valdosta, Georgia posted RFQ#5-27(1) for a 2026 or newer BearCat Tactical Armored Vehicle (bids due June 23, 2026) and proceeded to sole-source award intent for a Lenco BearCat G3 Core with proprietary armor, ballistic certification, and integrated SCBA systems.
