UNSPSC 46151608: Bomb protection devices and supplies

UNSPSC 46151608 Bomb protection devices and supplies, a Commodity code, encompasses personal protective equipment and integrated systems for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operations, including complete bomb suits, helmets, battery units, and related protective gear that comply with National Institute of Justice Standard 0117.01. State and local law enforcement agencies procure these items through individual department requests and through statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles that bundle bomb protection equipment with broader law enforcement technology and protective-equipment categories. Issuing bodies span county police departments, state public safety agencies, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple end-using agencies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the State of Maine Department of Public Safety represent direct end-user procurements; the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, manages statewide cooperative frameworks that extend to more than 2,800 purchasing participants, positioning these contracts as high-volume vehicles for qualified vendors.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, New Jersey, and Maine. The Gwinnett County Police Department issued an IFB (BL106-26) in July 2026 with response due July 24, 2026, seeking six line items including two complete EOD 10E bomb suits in olive drab with integrated electronic earmuffs, three helmet packages, three battery units with chargers, and replacement jacket, trousers, and standard items kits. The State of Maine issued an RFQ in February 2026 with response due March 4, 2026, for a single EOD 9N bomb suit with integrated helmet system meeting detailed technical specifications including V50 fragmentation protection, integrated audio with hearing protection, and dual LED lighting. New Jersey's statewide procurement T0106 (Bid Solicitation #26DPP01214), posted in February 2026 with quotes due March 26, 2026, includes body armor and bomb suits as one of ten product categories within a broader law enforcement firearms and protective-equipment contract offering set-aside preferences for small business enterprises and disabled veteran-owned businesses. SBE and DVOB classifications receive purchasing consideration; delivery typically requires FOB destination terms with freight prepaid to end-user locations.
