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, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show a stark mismatch: three of four visible solicitations involve firearm sales or body armor procurement—asset disposition and protective gear—rather than detection equipment. The single relevant opportunity is the Texas Department of Public Safety's July 2026 IFB for a Hi-Scan 6040C X-ray scanner system with explosives-detection software, which aligns with the code's nominal scope. State and local police departments and the Texas DPS dominate the recent activity. The work under this code encompasses explosive and weapons screening systems (baggage and cargo X-ray systems with threat-image projection capability) and law-enforcement body armor meeting NIJ standards, though the opportunities identified show minimal detector procurement relative to tangential law-enforcement equipment buys.

The geographic footprint is narrow based on recent postings: Texas and Georgia (Columbus consolidated government) dominate, with North Carolina (City of Charlotte) representing the only other state. The Texas Department of Public Safety IFB 405-26R0019262A (bids due July 24, 2026, anticipated award July 29, 2026) sought one Hi-Scan 6040C X-ray scanner with X-ACT Auto Detect Explosives and HI-TIP+ software, two 1-meter roller tables, one year of warranty, operator orientation, installation, freight, and removal of existing equipment from 1400 N. Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas—subject to a mandatory DBE participation requirement and best-value evaluation under Texas Government Code 2156.007. The City of Charlotte issued RFP 2692026221 (proposals due July 29, 2026) for NIJ-compliant body armor, sizing, fitting, and delivery for sworn personnel in Charlotte and participating Mecklenburg County agencies. The code shows minimal recent detector-equipment activity; most recent state and local opportunities under this UNSPSC classification involve unrelated law-enforcement asset dispositions and protective gear rather than explosives or weapons detection systems.
