UNSPSC 46111600: Gun systems

UNSPSC 46111600 Gun systems is a Class code covering the purchase of firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, and related law enforcement equipment by state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy this code primarily through two channels: police departments and sheriff's offices procuring duty weapons and training firearms, and school districts with law enforcement or security programs acquiring firearms and related protective equipment. Recent solicitations show police departments trading in confiscated or surplus weapons for new duty rifles, counties and state agencies purchasing training pistols and optical sighting systems, and school districts acquiring firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear for security personnel. The issuing bodies span city police departments (Columbus, Dallas, Charlotte), county sheriff's offices (Santa Clara County), state correctional agencies (Washington Department of Corrections), and independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio).

Geographic activity centers on Texas and the Southeast, with Columbus, Georgia and Dallas, Texas appearing twice each in recent RFBs for confiscated-firearm exchanges. Santa Clara County (California), Charlotte (North Carolina), San Antonio (Texas), and Washington State round out the jurisdictions posting under this code in the past four months. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department's RFB No. 27-0010 (posted September 16, 2026; sealed bids due October 14, 2026) seeking trade or credit for 306 confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers toward Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR rifles; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026117 (posted July 28, 2026; bids due August 20, 2026) for law enforcement firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, and services; Washington State Department of Corrections' RFQQ K14043 (posted June 8, 2026; bids due July 1, 2026) for approximately 1,000 handgun optics units under a five-year contract; and Santa Clara County's ITB for Glock 17T Gen 5 training pistols (posted June 24, 2026; bids due July 2, 2026). All firearms purchases require federal firearm licensure, and several jurisdictions impose local licensing or business-registration requirements.
