UNSPSC 25101712: Fire investigation car

Specialized vehicle equipped with measuring, analyzing, and data processing devices to investigate the cause of a fire and estimate damage

UNSPSC 25101712 Fire investigation car (Commodity) encompasses the purchase of specialized fire apparatus and response vehicles actually procured by state and local fire departments, EMS systems, airport authorities, and municipal safety agencies. Recent state and local opportunities show substantial demand for fire engines, pumper trucks, rescue apparatus, ambulance services, and aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles—categories that sit adjacent to the code's nominal scope but represent the weight of current procurement activity. The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward municipal fire departments and county emergency services, with secondary activity from airport authorities managing aircraft rescue operations and special-purpose regional emergency medical services agencies. Fire departments in cities and counties across the South and West dominate recent solicitations, with particular concentration in Georgia (Union County, Thomas County, Richmond Hill, City of Rome, Chatham County), Texas (San Antonio, Brazoria County), Florida (Lee County, Broward County, Collier County), and California (Santa Monica, Union City, Tuolumne County), alongside activity in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and North Carolina. The code shows mixed recent activity: some opportunities are tightly scoped single-apparatus purchases, while others represent large cooperative purchasing agreements intended to serve multiple jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities span July 2026 through May 2026.
