UNSPSC 46151605: Weapon or explosives detectors and supplies

Supplies include other items associated with weapons and explosives detectors.

UNSPSC 46151605 Weapon or explosives detectors and supplies is a Commodity code covering X-ray screening systems, metal detectors, and related threat-detection equipment that state and local governments procure for security operations at facilities, events, and transit checkpoints. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing both fixed installations—hi-scan baggage and cargo screening systems with AI-powered threat detection software—and portable metal detector rental services for temporary event security. The issuing bodies include state law enforcement agencies, state health authorities, county school boards, city police departments, universities, and special-purpose authorities. The Texas Department of Public Safety, the Oregon Health Authority, and the School Board of Polk County, Florida have each issued recent competitive procurements for X-ray inspection systems; the University of Texas at Austin and the City of Charlotte have solicited metal detector rentals and body armor respectively; and the State of New Jersey has bundled weapons and explosives detection equipment (CBRNE detection systems and bio-terrorism equipment) into a statewide cooperative purchasing contract spanning nine product categories.
