UNSPSC 46151706: Fingerprint latent print kits

UNSPSC 46151706 Fingerprint latent print kits, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within forensic evidence collection, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement activity under this specific code. State and local governments buying under the code purchase fingerprint collection supplies for crime scene investigation and evidence processing, including latent print development materials, collection containers, and related forensic tools for law enforcement agencies. Issuing bodies include county sheriff's offices, state law enforcement agencies, and municipal police departments. The geographic mix spans multiple states, with activity concentrated in jurisdictions maintaining active forensic laboratories and crime scene investigation units.

The most recent opportunities show that latent print kit procurement appears embedded within broader crime scene supply solicitations rather than as standalone line items. Harris County, Texas issued an ITB for Crime Scene Supplies and Related Items due June 8, 2026, which explicitly names fingerprint collection supplies as one category within an as-needed multiple-vendor pool for the Harris County Sheriff's Office. The Illinois State Police posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on February 17, 2026 for Livescan fingerprinting equipment due March 4, 2026—a related but distinct fingerprint capture technology for enrollment and identification rather than latent print collection from crime scenes. The code sees limited standalone procurement activity; most fingerprint-related work flows through larger law enforcement equipment and supplies RFPs or through cooperative purchasing arrangements such as Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment solicitation due June 16, 2026. Firms pursuing latent print kit sales should expect to bid as line items within comprehensive crime scene supply pools rather than through dedicated fingerprint-kit procurements.
