UNSPSC 92111806: Mercenaries

UNSPSC 92111806 Mercenaries, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments actually buy under this classification. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve security staffing, threat assessment consulting, security technology system assessments, and off-duty law enforcement coordination services—services that fall outside the nominal "mercenaries" definition and instead map more accurately to security management, consulting, and auxiliary law enforcement support. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include cities (Wichita, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Atlanta, DeBary), counties (Hillsborough, Collin, Rockland, San Bernardino, Pasco, Dorchester), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Temple ISD), and special-purpose districts (Hudson County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Wichita's RFP #260237 for off-duty officer secondary employment management services (proposals due January 8, 2027), offering a web-based platform to manage 711 commissioned officers' secondary employment scheduling and compliance; Hillsborough County Public Schools' sole-source procurement for off-duty sheriff's deputy security services management (April 15, 2026), coordinating off-duty HCSO deputies for school events; and the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0266 for armed and unarmed security services across multiple city departments (proposals due October 15, 2026), with a 30% small business participation goal and estimated annual hours exceeding 30,000. The mix also includes infrastructure security assessments—Gwinnett County's RFP for E911 community engagement solution design and maintenance (October 5, 2026) and Collier County's RFI for physical security modernization across 83 countywide locations (October 12, 2026).

Activity concentrates in Texas (Wichita, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Collin County, San Bernardino County, Pasco County) and Florida (Hillsborough County, DeBary, Collier County, Pasco County), with secondary activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Atlanta), New York (Rockland County, Hudson County), New Jersey, and South Carolina (Dorchester County). The code shows no dominant buyer; rather, it reflects fragmented local procurement of security staffing and related compliance-management services. Procurement vehicles include competitive RFPs for multi-year service agreements, sole-source notices for incumbent continuation, and RFIs for market research ahead of formal solicitation. Set-asides and small business preferences appear in multiple opportunities (Wichita at 10% S/EBE weighting, Fort Worth at 30% small business goal). The mismatch between the nominal code title and actual procurement activity suggests that state and local procurement offices are using 92111806 as a catch-all for security and protective services that do not fit cleanly into other security or law enforcement commodity families, making the code a poor targeting filter for vendors unless they offer off-duty law enforcement coordination, security consulting, or auxiliary protective services.
