UNSPSC 46151707: Fingerprint lifters

UNSPSC 46151707 Fingerprint lifters is a Commodity code that encompasses forensic and biometric identification equipment used by law enforcement and public safety agencies, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a broader range of law enforcement procurement that extends well beyond traditional fingerprint collection tools into body armor, ammunition, crime scene supplies, and biometric identification systems. State and local governments buying under or near this code procure forensic evidence collection kits (including fingerprint collection supplies, DNA swabs, evidence containers, and sharps management), crime scene investigation consumables, and increasingly sophisticated biometric capture and identification equipment such as Livescan fingerprinting systems and facial recognition devices. The issuing bodies span multiple tiers: county sheriffs' offices (Harris County, Texas; Rockland County, New York), city police departments (Dallas, Charlotte), state law enforcement agencies (Illinois State Police), state procurement authorities (California), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multistate law enforcement networks (Sourcewell, Minnesota). Harris County and the City of Dallas appear multiple times in the recent opportunities block, suggesting active, recurring procurement cycles within these jurisdictions.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas, North Carolina, New York, Illinois, California, and Minnesota. Representative recent opportunities include Harris County, Texas issuing an ITB for Crime Scene Supplies and Related Items for the Harris County Sheriff's Office with a response deadline of June 8, 2026, covering DNA collection items, fingerprint supplies, evidence containers, and laboratory chemicals on an as-needed basis; the Illinois State Police issuing an IFB for Livescan fingerprinting equipment (stationary units, portable devices, and Missouri location equipment) with a bid deadline of March 4, 2026 and a three-year initial contract term; the State of California soliciting bids for IDEMIA MORPHOWAVE XP2 biometric devices with a deadline of February 24, 2026; and Rockland County, New York issuing an RFB for ammunition and less-lethal supplies on a cooperative contract basis with a response deadline of April 23, 2026. The code shows no significant geographic concentration; opportunities are distributed across multiple states with no single jurisdiction dominating recent posting volume.
