UNSPSC 46160000: Public safety and control

UNSPSC 46160000 Public safety and control is a Family code encompassing emergency response systems, security monitoring, traffic enforcement, and disaster management services that state and local governments actively procure. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers soliciting web-based secondary employment scheduling platforms for police departments, fire and security alarm monitoring systems, video surveillance infrastructure upgrades, managed cybersecurity services for intelligent transportation systems, armored car collection services, unarmed security staffing, emergency disaster debris monitoring and removal services, and automated traffic enforcement camera programs. The issuing bodies span cities (Wichita, Kansas; Norwich and Bristol, Connecticut; Arlington, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; Stamford, Connecticut; Palm Bay and North Miami Beach, Florida), counties (Collin County and Hillsborough County, Texas; San Bernardino County, California; Dorchester County, South Carolina; Lycoming County, Pennsylvania; Maricopa County, Arizona; Greenville County, South Carolina), state departments (Utah Department of Transportation, New Hampshire Department of Transportation, Massachusetts Department of State Police, Massachusetts Department of Fire Services), regional transit authorities (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority), special-purpose districts (Central Massachusetts Regional 911 District, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue), and regional organizations (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.). The code also includes disaster logistics coordination, flood warning system upgrades, and facility-operations partnerships.

Recent activity clusters in Texas (Wichita RFP for secondary employment management services, Arlington alarm monitoring contract, Collin County jail sprinkler replacement and body scanner systems, Dallas mechanical and electrical upgrades), Florida (North Miami Beach disaster debris monitoring, Hillsborough County fire apparatus and armored car services, Broward County fire engine procurement), Connecticut (Norwich, Bristol, and Stamford traffic and security camera systems), Massachusetts (MBTA bus maintenance video surveillance, State Police radar and lidar equipment, Boston traffic and transformer infrastructure), Utah (UDOT traffic control and transportation conference catering), New Hampshire (DOT managed security services for intelligent transportation systems), South Carolina (Dorchester County pre-event disaster logistics and debris monitoring), and select other states. Representative opportunities include Wichita's RFP (due January 8, 2027) for an off-duty police officer secondary employment management web platform serving 711 commissioned officers; Collin County's IFB (due November 19, 2026) for jail sprinkler replacement at $150,000 estimated cost; the City of Arlington's RFP (due October 29, 2026) for fire and security alarm monitoring across 43 security and 17 fire alarm systems; Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue's RFQ (due October 23, 2026) for emergency board-up services with up to six contract awards; and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 13, 2026) for managed security services supporting TSMO and traffic management center cybersecurity and field network operations. Disaster response and emergency management services—pre-event debris monitoring, removal, and logistics support—appear frequently across jurisdictions as zero-cost standby contracts activated only upon disaster declaration, with three-year initial terms and renewal options. Code activity spans established program expansions (video surveillance, fire systems), technology upgrades (digital fabrication equipment, managed cybersecurity), and mission-critical service reprocurements (security staffing, armored transport, disaster response).
