UNSPSC 46151707: Fingerprint lifters

UNSPSC 46151707 Fingerprint lifters is a Commodity code that describes forensic evidence collection equipment and supplies used in crime scene investigation and fingerprint recovery work. State and local police and sheriff's departments procure fingerprint collection supplies including cotton swabs for fingerprint collection, evidence containers, labels, and related forensic materials to support criminal investigations and evidence documentation. Harris County, Texas recently solicited fingerprint collection supplies as part of a broader crime scene supplies procurement through an ITB for the Harris County Sheriff's Office, requesting sterile cotton swabs, fingerprint collection supplies, and evidence tubes on an as-needed basis under a one-year contract with possible four-year renewal, with pricing to be firm and all-inclusive and delivery within forty-five days.

Activity under the code appears sparse in recent postings. Beyond Harris County's May 2026 ITB for crime scene supplies (which included fingerprint collection items alongside DNA collection kits, evidence bags, and forensic chemicals), the recent opportunities block shows no direct fingerprint-lifter solicitations. A California State Board of Equalization procurement for silicone membrane supplies and a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment lack specificity on fingerprint collection scope, and a Columbus Consolidated Government firearms-trade transaction and a Charlotte body armor solicitation fall outside fingerprint supply scope entirely. The code shows minimal recent activity across state and local jurisdictions, suggesting either bundling of fingerprint supplies into broader crime scene or forensic procurement vehicles or limited current demand in the posted opportunities market.
