UNSPSC 46131600: Boosters

UNSPSC 46131600 Boosters is a Class code that, based on recent state and local activity, encompasses firearms and firearm components acquired through police department asset disposition. The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department recently solicited bids on a trade or credit transaction involving 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven additional upper receivers, to be exchanged for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories. This activity reflects law enforcement agencies' use of the code to manage surplus or confiscated weapon inventory through licensed firearms dealers rather than the abstract "boosters" taxonomy label. Issuing bodies under this code appear limited to municipal police and public safety departments executing disposition or procurement of firearms and related components as part of asset management or equipment modernization.

The single recent opportunity in the dataset is Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) Police Department's RFB No. 27-0010, posted September 16, 2026 with sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET via OpenBids and virtual bid opening at 3:00 PM the same day. The bidder must hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a State Firearm Dealer License. Award is made to the highest responsive and responsible bidder offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, subject to City Council approval following required newspaper publications. The confiscated lot comprises .223 caliber weapons with 14" barrels, handguards, and A-post front sights; successful bidders assume responsibility for all transfer documentation, permits, taxes, and fees and must complete transfers within ten calendar days of award. Firearm inspections were available by appointment only on September 30, 2026 between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM through Deputy Chief Ronnie Hastings at 706-225-4035. The limited recent activity in this code suggests low-frequency, jurisdiction-specific solicitations rather than broad statewide or multi-jurisdictional procurement patterns.
