UNSPSC 46221512: Improvised explosive device IED detection and removal arm

A vehicle-mounted crane system designed to investigate and remove Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) allowing for operation from inside mine protected vehicles. It is designed as an independent component and can be attached to most vehicles.

UNSPSC 46221512 Improvised explosive device IED detection and removal arm is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source provided. The Town of Berlin, Connecticut's posted opportunity under this code requests on-call mitigation, remediation, and abatement services — hazardous-materials and building-remediation work — which falls outside the scope of IED detection and removal equipment. State and local procurement records show minimal recent activity under this Commodity code that matches its nominal scope.

The Town of Berlin RFP (solicitation 202638, due June 25, 2026) is the only recent state and local opportunity tagged to this code. The work solicited includes labor, materials, travel, mileage, and truck fees for building projects on an as-needed basis, with proposers pricing hourly labor rates, per-mile mileage, per-hour travel charges, and truck fees. Award criteria emphasize experience with similarly sized municipalities, responsiveness, reference checks, and fee competitiveness. The contract runs two years beginning July 2026 through June 2028, with optional extension or renewal. Required qualifications include three years of relevant Connecticut experience, state licensing, documented internal controls, and a business continuity plan; insurance requirements include $1,000,000 limits on comprehensive general liability, professional liability, and comprehensive automobile liability, with the Town named as additional insured. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual scope of work suggests either a classification error in the Town's posting or that this Commodity code does not generate meaningful state and local procurement activity in the current market.
