UNSPSC 46151602: Night sticks

UNSPSC 46151602 Night sticks, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code actually solicit body armor, traffic striping, and multi-category law enforcement equipment suites — goods that fall outside the narrowly defined night stick commodity. State and local governments procuring protective equipment for law enforcement personnel are bundling night sticks (if procured at all) into broader law enforcement equipment RFPs rather than issuing standalone solicitations for batons or impact tools. The City of Charlotte and Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle both issued law enforcement equipment RFPs in the May–June 2026 window, but neither specified night sticks as a distinct line item; instead, both sought body armor, general law enforcement supplies, and integrated protective solutions.

The issuing bodies active in this space include municipal police departments (City of Charlotte, North Carolina), state cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit serving participating entities across multiple states and Canada), state procurement offices (New Jersey Department of the Treasury), and county governments (Thomas County Board of Commissioners, Georgia, though that solicitation addresses traffic striping). Geographic activity is scattered across North Carolina, Minnesota, Washington state counties, New Jersey, and Georgia, with no concentrated cluster. The State of New Jersey's statewide T3163 procurement for law enforcement equipment and technology (due June 24, 2026) represents the largest and most structured opportunity, covering nine equipment categories with SBE and DVOB set-aside preferences and availability to more than 2,800 cooperative purchasing participants through NJSTART, but night sticks are not listed as a distinct category. Vendors pursuing this code should expect night stick sales to occur as minor add-ons within broader law enforcement protective-equipment contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys.
