UNSPSC 92112202: Military reconnaissance

UNSPSC 92112202 Military reconnaissance is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to classify security services related to threat assessment, surveillance, and protective operations — though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show significant misalignment with the nominal scope. The code appears in procurement activity for off-duty law enforcement management platforms, security guard services, surveillance system assessments, and threat assessment consulting, none of which constitute military reconnaissance in the traditional sense. The actual work being bought under this code spans unarmed and armed security personnel deployment, canine detection services, physical and cyber threat assessments, video surveillance system design and consultation, and TAM (Threat Assessment and Management) team development for schools and counties. Issuing bodies include cities (Wichita, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Atlanta), counties (Hillsborough, Rockland, San Bernardino, Collin, Hudson), school districts (Temple ISD, Newton County Schools, Beaufort County), and state health entities, with repeat activity from Collin County, Texas on detention facility security infrastructure. The code does not map cleanly to military operations—it appears to capture state and local procurement of protective security and risk management consulting that vendors might reasonably categorize elsewhere under physical security, law enforcement support, or consulting services codes.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Texas (Wichita, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Collin County, San Bernardino) and Florida (Hillsborough County Schools, Pasco County, DeBary, Cibolo), with outlier activity in New York, Georgia, and New Jersey. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Wichita RFP #260237 for off-duty officer secondary employment management services (web-based platform, proposals due January 8, 2027), Hillsborough County Public Schools Notice of Intent to Purchase for off-duty sheriff's deputy security services management through April 15, 2026 (sole-source procurement), Rockland County RFP for threat assessment and management consulting services (proposals due October 8, 2026), and Collin County IFB 2026-155 for a full-body scanner system at the Adult Detention Facility (proposals due September 17, 2026, with estimated first-year cost $242,000). Hudson County issued an IFB for explosive detection canine services at the World Trade Center (bids due July 20, 2026). The frequency and geographic spread of recent postings suggest baseline steady demand, but the categorical misalignment warrants verification that solicitations are correctly tagged—vendors pursuing this code should cross-reference actual scope language against security guard services, emergency management, and facilities management codes where comparable work more typically appears.
