UNSPSC 81102811: Canine explosive detection team

A highly trained detection dog and a law enforcement handler. These teams conduct searches for a variety of explosive materials.

UNSPSC 81102811 Canine explosive detection team is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure trained canines for law enforcement and public-safety applications. The recent solicitation activity shows municipalities buying service dogs across multiple operational categories: explosive detection canines for police departments, police service dogs for apprehension and patrol work, and wellness canines for court settings. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal police departments and city government purchasing offices acting on behalf of law enforcement and judicial agencies. The Commodity spans a narrowly defined product line — the live animal with handler certifications, breed specifications, health documentation, and post-delivery support — rather than broader canine services or training programs.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Southwest. The City of Tucson, Arizona issued an RFP for service canines in October 2026 with proposals due June 5, 2026, soliciting Group A police service dogs, Group B explosive detection canines, and Group C wellness canines from qualified vendors who meet specified breed requirements (German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, or Belgian Malinois), provide veterinary certifications and health documentation, permit twelve-month returns and fourteen-day replacement windows, and comply with ARPA and Section 3 employment-opportunity provisions. The contract term runs one year with four optional one-year extensions. The solicitation requires pre-submittal meetings, questions due May 24, 2026, and incorporates federal compliance including Executive Order 11246 and domestic-preference provisions for U.S.-produced goods. Beyond the Tucson opportunity, the recent-opportunities dataset shows no other state or local procurements under the explosive detection canine code, suggesting activity remains limited and project-based rather than recurring across multiple jurisdictions.
