UNSPSC 49131607: Gun barrel

UNSPSC 49131607 Gun barrel is a Commodity code capturing firearms components and accessories procured by state and local law enforcement and correctional agencies. State and local procurement activity under this code is not reflected in the recent opportunities block—the posted solicitations tagged to this code predominantly seek complete firearms systems (pistols, rifles, shotguns), tactical optics and lighting, holsters, ammunition, and related equipment bundles, not gun barrels as discrete line items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what agencies are actually buying suggests either a cataloging artifact or a code misapplication in the source data; agencies appear to treat firearms acquisition as a single commodity class rather than disaggregating to component parts.

The recent opportunities block shows robust activity in law enforcement firearms procurement across multiple issuing bodies—Northside Independent School District (RFP for firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear, response due July 23, 2026), Texas Attorney General (IFB for Staccato HD C4X 9mm pistols, July 21, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB for Glock 19 Gen 6 pistols and optics, July 15, 2026), Texas Department of Public Safety (IFB for rifle testing and evaluation, July 13, 2026), and Collin County Law Enforcement (IFB for firearms and accessories with $182,000 estimated annual value, June 25, 2026). Geographic spread concentrates heavily in Texas (multiple state agencies and county/local jurisdictions), with additional activity in California, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, Washington, New Jersey, Missouri, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. Police departments, sheriffs' offices, state corrections and training centers, and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix. Because the Commodity code does not align with what agencies are transacting, pursuit under this code is not actionable; vendors should track firearms and tactical-equipment family codes instead.
