UNSPSC 46151510: Ballistic/fragmentation protection equipment

Fragmentation Protection Equipment is designed to ensure the safety and protection of security staff.

UNSPSC 46151510 Ballistic/fragmentation protection equipment is a Commodity code under which state and local law enforcement and public safety agencies procure body armor, protective vests, and related personal protective equipment along with less-lethal munitions and deployment systems. Recent solicitations show agencies buying NIJ-compliant body armor with sizing and fitting services, less-lethal projectiles and launchers (including Pepperball systems), and acoustic deterrent devices. County sheriff's offices and municipal police departments are the primary issuing bodies, though state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles also aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The work spans equipment supply, product fitting and sizing services, and delivery to law enforcement end-users.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, North Carolina, and New York, with recent solicitations including Gwinnett County's June 2026 informal written quotation for Pepperball launchers and projectiles (due June 17, 2026), the City of Charlotte's July 2026 RFP for NIJ-compliant body armor and fitting services (due July 29, 2026), and Rockland County's April 2026 request for bid on less-lethal ammunition and gases with cooperative use across New York State political subdivisions (due April 23, 2026). The State of New Jersey's statewide procurement (Bid Solicitation #26DPP01263) issued in April 2026 includes area security equipment and personal protective systems across nine product categories with SBE and DVOB set-aside preferences, reflecting the scale at which state-coordinated purchasing occurs. Delivery terms typically require FOB destination prepaid, local references, and compliance certifications; awards generally favor lowest responsive and responsible pricing with consideration of equivalency and delivery performance.
