UNSPSC 46111801: Torpedoes

UNSPSC 46111801 Torpedoes is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally covers torpedo systems and related ordnance, but the recent opportunities tagged to it — a firearms trade-in and a semi-automatic weapons procurement — represent small arms, ammunition, and related law-enforcement equipment, not naval or undersea weapons. State and local governments do not regularly solicit torpedoes through open procurement channels; the opportunities posted under this code appear to reflect miscategorization rather than genuine torpedo purchasing. Issuing bodies active in small-arms procurement include municipal police departments and city procurement offices in Texas and Georgia, which do acquire firearms, ammunition, and tactical equipment through RFB (request for bid) and ID/IQ master agreements. These are typically closed to local or SBE vendors and executed at the city level rather than by state agencies or county governments.

Recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department's RFB No. 27-0010, posted September 16, 2026 with bids due October 14, 2026, soliciting a trade or credit swap of 306 confiscated firearms and upper receivers for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 rifles; and the City of Dallas's solicitation BU2600030264, posted May 14, 2026 with bids due June 12, 2026, establishing a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for Glock weapons and accessories, with SBE set-aside opportunities and trade-in provisions. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The code does not support a meaningful business-development strategy; vendors pursuing state and local law-enforcement procurements should monitor codes under Family 46110000 (Ammunition and Explosives) or request clarification from issuing bodies on the correct UNSPSC categorization for their offerings.
