UNSPSC 46101506: Parts of guns or pistols

UNSPSC 46101506 Parts of guns or pistols is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing firearm components and accessory systems—sights, optics, rail-mounted systems, suppressors, holsters, magazines, and ammunition storage solutions—alongside complete firearms packages for law enforcement operations. Recent opportunities show two distinct patterns: direct procurement of assembled duty weapons (pistols and rifles) bundled with manufacturer-specific optics and tactical accessories, and standalone component sourcing including optical sighting systems, weapon-mounted lights, suppressors, and tactical gear. The mix of issuing bodies includes state public safety departments (Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Juvenile Justice Department, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Washington Department of Corrections), county sheriffs' offices (Collin County, Jackson County, Macon-Bibb County), municipal police departments (Orlando, St. Petersburg, Austin, Indianapolis, Fort Worth, Dallas, Charlotte), and specialized agencies (Colorado Department of Corrections, Illinois State Police, District of Columbia Metropolitan Police). A significant cluster of solicitations involves trade-in or exchange programs, where jurisdictions swap existing weapons inventories for new platforms—notably multiple Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department bids for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR rifles in exchange for confiscated inventory.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, and Indiana, with additional opportunities in Washington, Illinois, Arizona, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent solicitations include the Colorado Department of Corrections' Documented Quote DQ1CAAA20270001221 for 296 units of Mossberg 590A1 PRO 12-gauge shotguns with MIL-SPEC compliance and ghost ring sights (due October 22, 2026); the Texas Office of the Attorney General's IFB 302-27-254756 for statewide law enforcement blades and transport cases including 85 tactical knives, handcuff pairs, and firearm foam carrying cases (due October 15, 2026); the City of Orlando's IFB 26-0560 for Daniel Defense SB-114 DD4 Short Barrel Rifles with Aimpoint, Magpul sights, and Streamlight mounting systems, one-time purchase with VBE preference (due September 29, 2026); and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB 802-26-78404 for 50 Glock 45 Gen 6 9mm pistols with Aimpoint COA red dot sights (due September 17, 2026). Broader cooperative purchasing frames also appear—Region 14 Education Service Center's RFP through OMNIA Partners for firearms, ammunition, optics, and tactical equipment available to state and local public agencies nationwide (due June 4, 2026). Most recent awards are contract vehicles with one-year initial terms and renewal options; several jurisdictions explicitly require single-source vendor awards for complete scope compliance, and trade-in transactions often impose strict Federal Firearms Licensee and compliance requirements on bidders.
