UNSPSC 46111602: Gatling gun systems

UNSPSC 46111602 Gatling gun systems is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity maps not to Gatling guns but to law enforcement firearm purchases, trade-ins, optics, and related tactical equipment. State and local buying under this code spans police departments, county sheriffs' offices, school districts with armed security programs, and state corrections agencies. The work includes purchase of semi-automatic rifles and handguns (often with trade-in or swap provisions for confiscated weapons), ammunition, tactical accessories, handgun optical sights, and body armor. Recent solicitations show cities and counties disposing of confiscated weapon inventories to licensed firearms dealers in exchange for credit toward new rifles; school districts and state agencies procuring firearms, optics, and protective gear as standalone buys. Issuing bodies are mixed in size and type — from large municipal police departments and county sheriffs' offices to independent school districts and state-level agencies — with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent activity block, though Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department issued two separate trade-in RFBs within two months (August and September 2026).

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government, two RFBs posted August and September 2026), Texas (Northside Independent School District San Antonio, two RFPs posted June and July 2026; City of Dallas, RFQ posted May 2026), California (Santa Clara County Sheriff, ITB posted June 2026), North Carolina (City of Charlotte, RFP posted May 2026), and Washington State (Department of Corrections, RFQQ posted June 2026). Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department RFB No. 27-0010 (due October 14, 2026) seeks to trade 306 used and confiscated firearms and seven upper receivers for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories, with sealed bids and virtual bid opening; award goes to the highest responsive bidder offering the greatest credit or swap value. Washington State Department of Corrections RFQQ K14043 (due July 1, 2026, pre-bid June 16) solicits approximately 1,000 handgun optics units under a five-year contract term (September 2026 through August 2031), with aspirational small-business and veteran-owned enterprise inclusion goals of 5% each. Northside Independent School District RFP 2026117 (due August 20, 2026) replaces expiring RFP 2024-140 and requests bids for law enforcement firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, and services with shipping to San Antonio, Texas, and emphasizes vendor obligation to respond or risk exclusion from future District business.
