UNSPSC 46111602: Gatling gun systems

UNSPSC 46111602 Gatling gun systems (Commodity) frames state and local law enforcement procurement for semi-automatic pistols, training firearms, tactical optics, and less-lethal launchers with ammunition, but the recent opportunities show no demand for Gatling gun systems or full-auto weapons. Instead, jurisdictions are soliciting Glock semi-automatic handguns and training pistols, handgun optical sighting systems, pepper-ball and 40-millimeter less-lethal launchers with specialized munitions, body armor, and related tactical accessories. The issuing bodies span independent school districts, county sheriff's offices, state corrections departments, and city police departments across multiple states, with repeat procurement from Harris County, Texas (two separate less-lethal launcher solicitations posted within weeks of each other in February and March 2026) and recent activity from the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, the Washington State Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County, Rockland County, and Gwinnett County. Work includes equipment specification, sizing and fitting services for body armor, vendor-supplied instructor-led training with POST certification for less-lethal weapon systems, and cooperative purchasing arrangements extending to other state political subdivisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas, Harris County, and San Antonio), California (Santa Clara), Washington State, New York (Rockland County multi-state cooperative contract), Georgia (Gwinnett), and North Carolina (Charlotte). Representative solicitations include the City of Dallas five-year indefinite-quantity master agreement for Glock weapons and accessories (ITB, due June 12, 2026), the Washington State Department of Corrections request for quotes on approximately 1,000 handgun optics units with a five-year contract term (RFQQ, due July 1, 2026, pre-bid June 16, with aspirational small-business and veteran-owned-business goals of 5 percent in each category), Harris County's Invitation for Bid for less-lethal launchers and munitions (IFB, due March 9, 2026), and Rockland County's accelerated statewide cooperative procurement for live ammunition, less-lethal ammunition, and less-lethal gases and grenades across three lots (RFB, due April 23, 2026, with cooperative purchasing available to other New York State political subdivisions). Federal funding (FEMA, HUD, GLO) appears in several Harris County and other law enforcement procurement, triggering Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Section 3 employment, and federal compliance requirements including 2 CFR 200 regulations.
