UNSPSC 46101900: Bladed weapons and accessories

Weapons designed for close quarter or hand to hand combat which are comprised of a blade and a handle.

UNSPSC 46101900 Bladed weapons and accessories is a Class code under which state and local police departments actually procure firearms, ammunition, and tactical equipment rather than bladed weapons as the code name suggests. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent opportunities indicates that police departments are using this classification for law enforcement weaponry broadly. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily municipal police departments and city governments acquiring firearms and related tactical gear for departmental use. Recent solicitations show police departments managing both new equipment procurement and disposition of confiscated or used firearms through trade-in or exchange arrangements with licensed dealers. The scope of work includes establishing master agreements for semi-automatic weapons, accessories, and equipment over multi-year periods, as well as managing one-off transactions involving bulk lots of confiscated firearms in exchange for specific tactical platforms.

Municipal police departments in Texas and Georgia have posted the most recent activity. The City of Dallas Police Department issued a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity master agreement RFB for Glock weapons, equipment, and accessories with a June 12, 2026 response deadline and SBE set-aside provisions. The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department (Georgia) posted RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026 to exchange 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories, with sealed bids and virtual bid opening on October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET; award is made to the highest responsive bidder offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, contingent on City Council approval. Bidders must hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a State Firearm Dealer License; the Columbus solicitation requires five percent bid security, notarized E-Verify affidavit, federal and state firearm licenses, and completion of transfer within ten calendar days of award.
