UNSPSC 53121600: Purses and handbags and bags

UNSPSC 53121600 Purses and handbags and bags, a Class code, covers tactical and protective gear bags, wallets, and carrying accessories that state and local law enforcement and public-safety agencies procure for field operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily equipment carrying solutions for tactical personnel, including badge holders, tactical wallets, and accessory bags designed to meet law-enforcement operational standards. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state law-enforcement agencies and specialized divisions within state attorneys general offices. Recent activity shows state law-enforcement procurement driving demand for purpose-built tactical accessories meeting durability, water-resistance, and functional specifications rather than commercial consumer goods.

The Texas Office of the Attorney General posted an IFB (Solicitation 302-27-254341) on September 30, 2026, with a response deadline of October 15, 2026, for FY27 tactical apparel including black book-style wallets with leather-framed ID windows and black clip-on badge holders. The scope encompassed six equipment categories with reference brand specifications, allowing vendors to propose alternative brands meeting or exceeding stated standards; responses required official quotes with delivery schedules after receipt of order and completion of a pricing sheet through the Bonfire platform. The agency applied a Texas product and service preference in bid evaluation, required E-Verify compliance and $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 general-aggregate liability insurance, and issued Addendum 1 on October 1, 2026, extending the deadline by one day. Geographic activity on this code remains concentrated in Texas based on recent solicitation records; the state repeats as the primary issuing jurisdiction for tactical apparel procurement at the state level.
