UNSPSC 46101500 Firearms, a Class code, represents law enforcement procurement of duty pistols, patrol and precision rifles, training firearms, ammunition, optics, holsters, less-lethal systems, and related tactical accessories. State and local governments buy across this code to equip sworn personnel in departments ranging from municipal police to county sheriffs, state agencies, corrections systems, and educational institutions operating armed security programs.
