UNSPSC 52161533: Megaphones

UNSPSC 52161533 Megaphones is a Commodity code, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not involve megaphones. The City of Charlotte solicited body armor for sworn law enforcement personnel (RFP 2692026221, due July 29, 2026), and the Texas Office of the Attorney General issued an IFB for peace officer vehicle up-fit services including warning lights, sirens, and secure storage vaults (IFB 302-26-230762, due April 30, 2026). The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, also posted a statewide law enforcement equipment and technology contract (Bid Solicitation 26DPP01263, due June 24, 2026) covering nine product categories from laser/radar speed detection equipment to unmanned aerial vehicles, with associated installation and service lines. These opportunities reflect actual law enforcement protective equipment, vehicle accessories, and detection systems rather than communication devices. The issuing bodies span city police departments, state attorneys general, and state treasury divisions managing statewide cooperative purchasing for law enforcement agencies.

Geographic activity centers on North Carolina, Texas, and New Jersey based on recent solicitations. The New Jersey statewide contract extends purchasing authority to more than 2,800 cooperative purchasing participants through the NJSTART eProcurement system, making it the broadest vehicle visible in the recent record. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope (megaphones); state and local procurement under UNSPSC 52161533 appears to reflect tagging misalignment rather than active megaphone procurement.
