UNSPSC 46151706: Fingerprint latent print kits

UNSPSC 46151706 Fingerprint latent print kits is a Commodity code representing forensic and crime scene evidence-collection supplies that state and local law enforcement agencies procure on an as-needed basis. The recent solicitation record shows little alignment between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities posted under it. Of the five opportunities tagged to this code, only one—Harris County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Supplies (ITB 250415)—involves fingerprint collection supplies at all, and even that procurement encompasses a far broader array of forensic consumables including DNA collection kits, sharps containers, evidence bags, gloves, and chemicals. The remaining four opportunities involve used firearms sales (Columbus Consolidated Government), a silicone membrane component (State of California DSB/LACRIS system), body armor (City of Charlotte), and a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell). This mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or that fingerprint latent print kits constitute a small subset of broader crime scene supply procurements that are tagged at a higher UNSPSC level.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and scattered across other states. Harris County, Texas posted the most operationally detailed opportunity in May 2026, requiring fingerprint collection supplies as part of a one-year, multiple-vendor crime scene supply pool with a June 8, 2026 bid due date and delivery windows of forty-five days. The California State Procurement in September 2026 (RFB-IS-27200178) and the Sourcewell cooperative (Minnesota) procurement in April 2026 offer access to multi-jurisdictional purchasing but provide no detail on fingerprint kit specifications or volumes. No recent stand-alone fingerprint latent print kit solicitations are evident; buyers appear to consolidate fingerprint supplies into broader crime scene or evidence-collection RFQs and ITBs. Vendors pursuing this code should verify tagging accuracy with individual issuing bodies before bid preparation.
