UNSPSC 46151608: Bomb protection devices and supplies

UNSPSC 46151608 Bomb protection devices and supplies is a Commodity code that covers personal protective equipment and specialized gear used by law enforcement and public safety agencies to detect, contain, and respond to explosive threats. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through police departments and bomb disposal units seeking explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) suits, bomb-containment equipment, protective apparel, and related accessories. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county police departments and municipal police agencies, which acquire these items through sealed-bid IFBs when specifications align with National Institute of Justice performance standards. Equipment must meet rigorous compliance requirements, including integrated electronic components for communication and situational awareness during hazardous operations.

Recent activity shows solicitation from two Georgia jurisdictions. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IFB BL106-26 in July 2026 for bomb suits—specifically six line items comprising two complete EOD 10E suits in olive drab, three helmet packages, three battery units with chargers, and component kits, all to comply with NIJ standard 0117.01, with bids due July 24, 2026. Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted a trade-in transaction in September 2026 for used and confiscated firearms in exchange for new rifles; this posting was tagged to the bomb-protection code but falls outside the code's nominal scope. The limited recent-opportunity volume suggests this Commodity code sees sparse activity in state and local procurement, with meaningful opportunities concentrated among specialized law enforcement procurement offices managing explosive-threat response capabilities.
