UNSPSC 46151509: Vehicle mounted ballistic shield

Ballistic shields are shields designed to stop or deflect bullets fired at their carrier.

UNSPSC 46151509 Vehicle mounted ballistic shield is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of law enforcement protective and tactical equipment than the code name alone suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code include less-lethal launchers and projectiles, body armor, long-range acoustic devices, and ammunition and explosives. Issuing bodies span county purchasing divisions, city police departments, state transportation agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional networks. Gwinnett County, Georgia appears twice in recent postings, soliciting pepperball launchers and projectiles in June 2026 and long-range acoustic devices in May 2026, both for law enforcement use. The City of Charlotte, North Carolina solicited NIJ-compliant body armor for sworn personnel in May 2026. The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury conducted a statewide procurement for law enforcement equipment and technology across nine product categories including CBRNE detection systems, body cameras, ALPR surveillance, and unmanned aerial vehicles, with a June 2026 quote deadline. Rockland County, New York issued a cooperative purchasing RFB for live ammunition, less-lethal ammunition, and less-lethal gases and grenades available to law enforcement agencies across New York State, due April 2026.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia and New York showing multiple recent postings. The mix of issuing bodies—county purchasing offices, city police departments, state departments, and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles—reflects fragmented procurement across local and regional networks rather than centralized statewide buying. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quotation for pepperball launchers and projectiles (IWQ 127559, due June 17, 2026), the City of Charlotte's RFP for body armor (due July 29, 2026), and the State of New Jersey's statewide T3163 law enforcement equipment and technology procurement (quote deadline June 24, 2026), which extends to more than 2,800 cooperative purchasing participants through the NJSTART eProcurement system and includes SBE and Disabled Veterans-Owned Business set-aside preferences.
