UNSPSC 46151704: Fingerprint ink removers

UNSPSC 46151704 Fingerprint ink removers (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the few opportunities tagged under this code are actually firearms transactions, forensic supplies, body armor, and law enforcement cooperative purchasing vehicles that do not involve fingerprint ink removers or related cleaning products. State and local police departments and sheriff's offices are the primary issuing bodies visible in the recent record, but the solicitations they have posted do not reflect procurement of fingerprint ink removal materials. The code appears inactive or mistagged in current state and local procurement systems, making it difficult to characterize what is actually being bought or which vendors are pursuing related work.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span multiple states and jurisdictions but diverge sharply from the code's stated product category. Harris County, Texas issued an ITB for Crime Scene Supplies and Related Items (due June 8, 2026) that includes fingerprint collection supplies and evidence handling materials but no fingerprint ink removers specifically. The City of Charlotte, North Carolina solicited NIJ-compliant body armor (due July 29, 2026), Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia posted an RFB for used firearms and trade-in value (due October 14, 2026), the State of California requested a DSB/LACRIS silicone membrane supply kit (due September 29, 2026), and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, solicited general law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026). None of these opportunities explicitly reference fingerprint ink removers or related dermatological or forensic cleaning products. Business development professionals should verify whether this code remains active in state and local procurement taxonomies or consult directly with jurisdictions about whether fingerprint ink removal materials are procured under alternative UNSPSC classifications.
