UNSPSC 46151802: Armored weapons storage container

Blast and bullet proof container for the safe-keeping of weapons and armor.

UNSPSC 46151802 Armored weapons storage container (Commodity) covers gun locks, lockable gun cases, and related firearms-storage and security equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, corrections facilities, and violence-prevention programs. The scope of work solicited under this code spans keyed cable gun locks and steel lockable cases for civilian firearm-storage initiatives, secure-door and lock-replacement construction in corrections facilities, and equipment supporting law enforcement protective custody. Issuing bodies include municipal police departments, county corrections authorities, state purchasing offices, and city violence-prevention agencies. The code sees activity across police departments managing confiscated-firearm inventories, municipal offices supporting violence-prevention programming, and county correction facilities upgrading security infrastructure.

Recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions with uneven geographic concentration. The City of Austin posted an IFQ for 5,000 keyed cable gun locks and 500 keyed steel lockable cases under a two-stage HUB or M/WBE preference (due August 26, 2026); the State of California issued an RFB for gun safety locks (RFB-IS-26200872, due May 5, 2026); and the City of Charlotte solicited NIJ-compliant body armor proposals for sworn law enforcement personnel (due July 29, 2026). Orange County, Florida posted a sealed-bid construction project for corrections-facility security controls and secure-door-and-lock replacement at an estimated cost of $7 million (bid deadline July 21, 2026). Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department issued two consecutive RFBs (RFB No. 27-0004 due September 9, 2026, and RFB No. 27-0010 due October 14, 2026) involving used-and-confiscated-firearms trade or swap transactions, though these are materially distinct from the code's nominal scope and likely misclassified. Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, and Georgia over the past five months, with police departments and municipal violence-prevention offices appearing as repeat buyers.
