UNSPSC 46151505: Barriers

UNSPSC 46151505 Barriers is a Commodity code encompassing law enforcement protective equipment and tactical devices, along with infrastructure barriers. State and local governments procure less-lethal munitions (PepperBall projectiles and launchers, Long Range Acoustic Devices), body armor meeting NIJ standards, ammunition (live and less-lethal), and concrete highway barriers under this code. The issuing bodies span county sheriffs' departments, city police forces, state transportation departments, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state law enforcement networks. Gwinnett County (Georgia) has appeared multiple times in recent solicitations, signaling recurring procurement activity for tactical equipment.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with posted opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County's May and June 2026 quotations for PepperBall equipment and Long Range Acoustic Devices), North Carolina (City of Charlotte's July 2026 body armor RFP), New York (Rockland County's April 2026 less-lethal ammunition and gases RFB, extending to statewide cooperative use), New Jersey (State Department of Treasury's June 2026 statewide law enforcement equipment procurement covering laser/radar detection, CBRNE systems, body cameras, ALPRs, and drones), and Missouri (MoDOT's February 2026 concrete highway barrier IFB for 100 units). Sourcewell's April 2026 cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP extends opportunity reach across Minnesota and participating entities nationwide. The Gwinnett County IWQ 127559 (due June 17, 2026) sought PepperBall INERT and LIVE-X/MAXX projectiles plus TAC-SA PRO semi-auto launchers; the City of Charlotte's July 29, 2026 deadline targets NIJ-compliant body armor with sizing and fitting services. The Missouri concrete barrier solicitation (February 19, 2026 deadline, 100 units) required compliance with state highway construction standards and offered MBE/WBE participation encouragement and Buy American certification preferences.
