UNSPSC 53102701 Military uniforms, a Commodity code, spans law enforcement, fire service, EMS, and public safety uniform procurement at state and local agencies. State and local governments buy Class A formal dress uniforms, Class B patrol and duty uniforms, tactical gear, specialized outerwear, embroidered insignia and patches, duty belts and holsters, badges, and customization services (alterations, embroidery, screen printing) under this code.

Recent solicitations show cities, counties, and special districts in Michigan, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and New Mexico as repeat buyers. Police departments appear frequently across jurisdictions for Class A and Class B duty uniforms with leather gear (Detroit, South Fulton, Scottsdale, Tucson, Lubbock); fire departments solicit formal uniforms and station wear (Bristol, Tucson, Amarillo, Greenwich); and EMS and corrections agencies buy specialized operational uniforms (Okaloosa County, Maine).
