NIGP 47060 Restraint and Protection Items, an Item code, encompasses safety blankets, protective smocks, restraint chairs, stab-resistant vests, and protective helmets procured by state and local jurisdictions for psychiatric, behavioral health, detention, law enforcement, and special-education settings. State and local buyers under this code include sheriffs' departments, city police and fire services, state departments of behavioral health and recovery, county corrections facilities, municipal purchasing divisions, and school districts; recent solicitations show activity from the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department, City of Philadelphia, Harris County Sheriff's Office, City of Tampa, and the Illinois Department of Behavioral Health and Recovery, among others. The work being solicited ranges from single-unit or small-batch purchases of specialized restraint equipment (handcuffs, leg irons, ankle restraints) and safety garments (suicide blankets and smocks for isolation prevention) to larger protective-equipment procurements with multi-year contract terms and renewal options, as seen in Harris County's IFB for 75+ stab-resistant vests with five-year warranty provisions and on-site sizing services.

Geographic activity spans multiple states and regions, with recent posting dates clustered between February and June 2026 across Texas (Harris County, Garland ISD), Georgia (Barrow County), Florida (Tampa), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), California (Orange County), Utah (Salt Lake City), and Illinois (state-level DBHR). Representative opportunities include the City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase RFQ for safety blankets and smocks due July 13, 2026 (capped at $45,000 with annual CPI-U adjustment); the County of Orange's IFB for Peerless and Smith & Wesson handcuffs with designated 5% price preferences for Orange County Local Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises; Harris County's IFB for Level III stab-resistant vests with performance requirements including online inventory management and mass-sizing capability; and the Illinois Department of Behavioral Health and Recovery's three-day solicitation for psychiatric restraint chairs with delivery required by May 15, 2026. Procurement instruments include RFQs, IFBs, and competitive RFPs; cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-year contracts with renewal options are common, and several jurisdictions apply certified small-business set-asides or price preferences.
