UNSPSC 46101701: Tank ammunition handling systems

UNSPSC 46101701 Tank ammunition handling systems, a Commodity code, does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this code; recent opportunities reveal that law enforcement and public safety agencies are soliciting body armor, firearms, ammunition, less-lethal munitions, and protective equipment instead. State and local governments buying under this code purchase live ammunition (rifle, pistol, and specialty rounds), less-lethal ammunition and crowd-control devices (pepper spray, bean bags, flash-bangs, grenades), body armor meeting NIJ standards, holsters and duty gear, and related law enforcement and public safety protective equipment. Issuing bodies include city police departments (Charlotte, North Carolina), county sheriffs and law enforcement cooperatives (Rockland County, New York), regional education service centers acting as procurement hubs for cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 14 Education Service Center, West Texas), and statewide and multi-jurisdictional cooperative agreements serving public agencies nationwide. The mix skews heavily toward law enforcement supply and inter-agency cooperative purchasing rather than municipal services generally.

Recent solicitation activity clusters in the Northeast and Southwest. Rockland County, New York, issued a Request for Bid on April 9, 2026 (due April 23, 2026) for live ammunition, less-lethal ammunition, and less-lethal gases and grenades available to law enforcement agencies statewide under New York General Municipal Law Section 103(3); awards are based on highest percentage discount off manufacturer MSRP. The City of Charlotte issued Solicitation 2692026221 on May 29, 2026 (due July 29, 2026) for NIJ-compliant body armor, sizing and fitting services, and delivery for sworn law enforcement. Region 14 ESC issued RFP26S1097 on April 29, 2026 (due June 4, 2026) for firearms, ammunition, firearm optics, less-lethal products, and related protective equipment through OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing, available nationwide across 50 states and territories with an estimated annual contract volume of approximately $50 million.
