NIGP 25772: Rescue and Search Equipment, CBRNE

NIGP 25772 Rescue and Search Equipment, CBRNE, an Item code, covers specialized equipment and systems that state and local emergency response agencies—fire departments, law enforcement, and detention facilities—deploy for rescue operations, body scanning and contraband detection, and water rescue. State and local governments buy turnkey rescue tool systems with installation and training, full-body scanner platforms for facility admissions screening with real-time contraband detection, and integrated water rescue kits including dry suits, personal flotation devices, communication systems, and specialized apparel. The code encompasses both single-source equipment procurements where jurisdictions standardize on an authorized distributor and competitive solicitations for complete rescue packages with performance specifications and compliance certifications.

Recent solicitations come from city fire departments (Winter Park, Florida), county detention and emergency services operations (Collin County, Texas; Sarasota County, Florida), and municipal law enforcement (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia). Winter Park issued a single-source procurement for NAFECO Rescue Tools—specifically Holmatro equipment—with an estimated $50,000 fiscal year 2026 spend and a November 24, 2025 proposal due date; Collin County issued RFP 2026-155 for a full-body scanner system for the Adult Detention Facility with an estimated first-year upfront cost of $242,000, mandatory pre-submission conferences in August 2026, and a September 17, 2026 deadline; and Sarasota County issued a Quick Quote for water rescue equipment including dry suits, flotation devices, communication stations, and fins with a $50,000 ceiling and a May 22, 2026 response date. Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with scattered procurement in Georgia. The issuing-body mix spans city fire departments, county detention facilities, county emergency services departments, and municipal police departments, reflecting the breadth of public agencies deploying rescue and CBRNE equipment across admissions screening, emergency extraction, and water recovery operations.
