UNSPSC 46101802: Cartridge belt

A type of bands that is inserted on the can to carry the magazine on the body.

UNSPSC 46101802 Cartridge belt (Commodity) covers duty belts, gun belts, rank bars, and related accessories that state and local law enforcement and fire-service agencies procure for uniformed personnel. Recent solicitations show demand for specific branded products — Safariland duty belts with lined construction, NexBelt gunbelts, and Hero's Pride rank bars — ordered in volumes from dozens to low hundreds of units per procurement cycle. The Texas Office of the Attorney General's July 2026 IFB for 124 Safariland belts across sizes 26–46 with silver or gold buckles, alongside rank bars, exemplifies the typical transaction: fixed quantities, brand-or-equivalent specifications, firm pricing for 30 days, and compliance with commercial insurance and E-Verify requirements. Issuing bodies include state attorney general offices, city police departments, school district law enforcement, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles. The code sees activity across Texas, Florida, North Carolina, New York, and Arizona, driven by routine uniform replacement cycles and new-hire outfitting at public safety agencies.

The Texas Office of the Attorney General issued IFB 30226240086 (CID Uniform Pieces) on July 7, 2026, with bids due July 21, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, requiring submission through the Bonfire platform and prior CMBL registration with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Questions were due July 10, 2026, with Q&A answers posted July 15, 2026. The City of Tucson Fire Department, Golder Ranch Fire District, and Northwest Fire District jointly solicited RFP 260153 (Formal/General Fire Department Uniforms and Accessories) on April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026, estimating $900,000 in annual spend across approximately 1,140 personnel and requiring web-based ordering with real-time tracking and in-house alterations. Both procurements emphasize brand compliance, sizing breadth, delivery timelines, and insurance minimums ($1 million to $2 million general liability), with few opportunities for discretionary value-add beyond catalog pricing. Response windows are typically two to four weeks; cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell and New Jersey's statewide law enforcement equipment contract (T3163) extend winning vendors to dozens of participating entities, multiplying transaction volume once awarded.
