UNSPSC 46111501: Grenades

UNSPSC 46111501 Grenades (Commodity) covers less-lethal grenades and gas devices supplied to law enforcement agencies for training and defensive use. State and local governments procure these products as part of broader protective-equipment and less-lethal-munitions packages, often bundled with body armor, ammunition, and related law enforcement supplies. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, cities, and state cooperative purchasing vehicles; Rockland County, New York, and the City of Charlotte serve as recent buyers, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based service cooperative) is establishing a framework contract for law enforcement equipment across participating state and local entities.

Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in the Northeast and Upper Midwest. Rockland County issued a competitive RFB for less-lethal gases and grenades (Lot 3) on April 9, 2026, with a response deadline of April 23, 2026, under an accelerated two-week solicitation cycle triggered by expiration of the state's prior ammunition contract; awards were based on highest percentage discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price, with the resulting contract available to other New York State political subdivisions and approved nonprofits under cooperative purchasing authority. The City of Charlotte solicited NIJ-compliant protective equipment via RFP 2692026221, due July 29, 2026, covering body armor, sizing, and fitting services for sworn law enforcement personnel. Sourcewell posted a broad Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (26RFP061626) with a June 16, 2026, deadline to establish a contracting solution for its participating entities statewide. The code shows moderate recent activity tied to law enforcement modernization and equipment renewal cycles.
