UNSPSC 49131604: Sporting shotguns

UNSPSC 49131604 Sporting shotguns is a Commodity code that describes a narrow slice of state and local law enforcement procurement—specifically duty handguns and rifles, tactical optics and lights, holsters, ammunition, and related accessories for police departments and correctional agencies. Recent state and local opportunities under this code span handgun platforms (Glock Gen 5 and Gen 6, Staccato, FN-15), rifle systems (AR-pattern and precision rifles), and ancillary gear such as red dot sights, weapon-mounted lights, and body armor. The issuing-body mix includes city police departments, county sheriffs, state corrections and public safety training centers, and special-purpose districts. Repeat buyers within the recent cycle include the City of St. Petersburg (multiple Glock and FN-15 solicitations), Texas state agencies (Texas Attorney General, Health and Human Services Commission), and Georgia Public Safety Training Center (multiple optics and light requests). Most solicitations are structured as RFP, RFQ, or IFB with firm response dates, volume commitments ranging from dozens to over a thousand units, and evaluation focused on lowest-responsive-and-responsible bid or best value.

Geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County Law Enforcement issuing IFB 2026-236 for 78 line items of firearms and accessories with an estimated annual value of $182,000 (due June 25, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting IFB HHS0017580 for 45 Glock 19 Gen 6 pistols, optics, and holsters with historical annual spend of $25,000 (due July 15, 2026); the City of Tampa pursuing RFP 26P00114 for approximately 1,300 Glock 45 Gen 6 pistols with accessories and trade-in services (due February 6, 2026); and the City of Dallas establishing a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for Glock weapons and equipment (due June 12, 2026). Jackson County, Missouri (June 2, 2026) and the City of McKinney, Texas (March 12, 2026) have issued solicitations for AR-15 M4 rifles with strict no-substitution requirements. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued a rifle testing and evaluation RFQ (IFB 26R0019377, due July 13, 2026) in which responding vendors must supply test rifles, suppressors, ammunition, and shooting teams—a services-heavy opportunity distinct from typical supply contracts. Ammunition and less-lethal munitions are also heavily procured; Rockland County, New York issued an accelerated two-week RFB for live, less-lethal, and tear-gas supplies across three lots (due April 23, 2026), and Harris County, Texas solicited less-lethal launchers and munitions through a multi-lot IFB (due March 9, 2026). Trade-in provisions appear in many recent bids, with agencies bundling used firearms sales or exchanges into procurement requests to offset costs.
