UNSPSC 25101706: Fire fighting chemical truck

Fire truck equipped with special fire-extinguishing chemicals and spraying devices to fight fires involving oil, gas or other highly flammable and hazardous materials

UNSPSC 25101706 Fire fighting chemical truck (Commodity) encompasses aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles, rescue apparatus, traditional fire engine pumpers, and specialized firefighting trucks procured by state and local fire departments, airport authorities, and emergency services across the country. State and local governments buy complete fire apparatus systems under this code—including custom or commercial chassis-based pumpers with integrated water tanks, foam systems, pump and nozzle configurations, electrical and lighting packages, and NFPA 1901 compliance—as well as specialized rescue vehicles such as quick-attack apparatus, tractor-drawn aerials, and ARFF vehicles meeting FAA AC 150 standards for airport use. Issuing bodies span city fire departments, county emergency services, airport authorities (both municipal and regional), and county boards of commissioners. The code draws activity from a diverse mix of jurisdictions with no single dominant buyer, though recent opportunities show concentration among mid-sized county and city fire services seeking replacement apparatus.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with notable procurements from Georgia (Union City, Richmond Hill, Union County, Augusta Regional Airport, Chatham County), Florida (Brevard County, Lee County Port Authority, Collier County), Texas (Brazoria County, San Antonio), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Brazoria County's ITB 26-57 for an airport rescue firefighting truck due August 3, 2026; the City of Detroit's RFP 546441 for firefighting hose line inspection and repair services due July 30, 2026, with Detroit equalization credits available; Chatham County's ITB 26-0053-3 for five new fire truck pumpers due May 28, 2026, with a 30 percent combined M/WBE participation goal; Union County, Georgia's RFP for a rescue/quick-attack fire apparatus mounted on a Ford F-550 with proposals due July 16, 2026; and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 472 for four Type 1 fire engines and two tractor-drawn aerials due June 11, 2026. Multi-state cooperative solicitations also appear regularly—notably the NASPO ValuePoint RFP led by Mississippi for fire trucks and fire apparatus with a June 10, 2026, deadline, available to participating states including Utah, and the Purchasing Cooperative of America RFP OD-446-26 for fire department equipment due July 28, 2026, supporting national, statewide, and regional use among member entities.
