UNSPSC 46171635: Chemical agent detector

Equipment that detects the presence of chemical agents harmful to human body.

UNSPSC 46171635 Chemical agent detector (Commodity) covers detection systems and sensors that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, emergency response, school security, and hazmat operations. Recent solicitations show the code encompassing gunshot detection systems integrated with real-time crime center platforms, walk-through metal detection systems for school entrance screening, CBRNE detection equipment and personal protective systems for law enforcement agencies, and chemical/gas detection sensors for hazmat sustainment programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (New Jersey Department of the Treasury), county governments (Collin County, Texas; Jones County, Georgia; Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington), city police departments (Detroit), school districts (Jones County School System in Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell serving thousands of governmental agencies and public entities nationwide.

Activity concentrates in the Mid-Atlantic and Pacific Northwest regions, with standout recent opportunities including the City of Detroit Police Department's RFP for a Gunshot Detection System (due March 17, 2026) integrating with existing Genetec, Central Square One CAD, and Motorola infrastructure; the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury statewide procurement (T3163) for law enforcement equipment and technology including CBRNE detection systems (due June 24, 2026); Jones County School System's eRFP for walk-through metal detection systems capable of screening individuals in motion (due April 29, 2026); and Sourcewell's cooperative RFP on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and other jurisdictions for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026). New Jersey's procurement includes SBE and Disabled Veterans-Owned Business set-aside preferences, while Georgia applies reciprocal preference to in-state suppliers. The Detroit Police Department noted an existing ShotSpotter system covering 39 square miles and generating 14,695 published alerts in 2024, signaling incumbent competition and mature market adoption among large urban departments.
