UNSPSC 39111610: Flashlight

A handheld portable light.

UNSPSC 39111610 Flashlight is a Commodity code that captures handheld and portable lighting equipment purchased by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show the code applies to flashlights and related tactical lighting equipment—particularly weapon-mounted lights specified alongside duty gear and range equipment—as well as flashlights included in broader electrical supplies catalogs. The issuing bodies range from regional purchasing cooperatives to county public safety departments. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a multi-jurisdictional electrical supplies procurement vehicle, and the County of Orange Probation Department represent the types of buyers using this code, though the issuing-body mix extends to any state, county, or municipal agency purchasing portable lighting as part of operations or duty equipment.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and California. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued a catalog discount bid (RFP ELEC2628) posted June 22, 2026, with a due date of May 28, 2026, for electrical supplies including flashlights, with estimated expenditures of $4,854,470.00 over a two-year award period from June 18, 2026 through June 18, 2028. The County of Orange Probation Department issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB #057-3048504-BO) posted May 12, 2026, with a due date of May 1, 2026, for range pistols and tactical equipment including Streamlight weapon-mounted lights; the solicitation applies Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preferences of up to eight percent. The divergence between the code name and actual purchasing signals that flashlights are bought as components within broader equipment packages rather than as standalone items in dedicated procurements.
