UNSPSC 41111717: Binoculars

UNSPSC 41111717 Binoculars, a Commodity code, covers night vision binoculars for law enforcement and tactical operations, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations focused on high-performance imaging devices for sheriffs' offices and highway patrol divisions. State and local governments under this code are procuring helmet-mounted and handheld night vision systems with specified image-intensifier tube generations, military-specification objective lenses, and integrated mounting hardware; the actual buying reflects mission-critical equipment for low-light tactical applications rather than general-purpose optics. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county sheriff's offices, state highway patrol divisions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and law enforcement entities across state lines.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and regional multi-state cooperative vehicles, with secondary activity in Texas, Missouri, and the upper Midwest. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Division of Florida Highway Patrol posted an ITB in early October 2026 for Law Enforcement Night Vision Binocular Kits with Mount Systems (ITB17165, response due November 3, 2026), specifying Elbit or L3 Harris Generation 3 or 3+ image intensifier tubes, U.S.-made 115-gram housings, military-specification objective lenses, and A4 Ultralight mounting systems with an estimated initial requirement of 35 units and fixed pricing inclusive of shipping, warranty, and lifetime maintenance through a two-year term with renewal options. Williamson County Sheriff's Office (Texas) issued RFQ 26RFQ86 in mid-October 2026 for night vision binoculars leveraging ambient light, due October 27, 2026, with minimal technical specifications disclosed in the notice. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, released RFP 061626 in May 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) to establish law enforcement equipment contracting solutions across thousands of participating public entities in the United States and Canada, including multiple Washington state counties. Jackson County, Missouri solicited night vision goggles in mid-June 2026 (ITB 26043, due July 14, 2026) with limited detail publicly available.
