UNSPSC 42143600: Restraints and accessories

In this classification, this class includes products and accessories utilized as restraining components in medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42143600 Restraints and accessories is a Class code encompassing safety restraint equipment and specialized protective gear used across law enforcement, corrections, and behavioral health settings. State and local governments buy restraint chairs for psychiatric environments, suicide-prevention blankets and smocks for detention and isolation facilities, standard handcuffs and leg irons for sheriff departments, and stab-resistant vests for detention officers. Recent solicitations also include restraint-related equipment for juvenile correctional facilities, reflecting a procurement category centered on institutional safety equipment rather than personal protective apparel alone. Issuing bodies span sheriff's offices and county corrections departments, state departments of administration and behavioral health, city fire rescue services, independent school districts with special education programs, and county and municipal purchasing offices. Repeat buyers include county sheriff and corrections agencies across multiple states soliciting both standard law enforcement restraints and specialized suicide-prevention items.

Geographic activity in recent months concentrates in California (Orange County Sheriff-Coroner), Texas (Harris County Sheriff's Office, Garland Independent School District), Georgia (Barrow County), Illinois (Department of Behavioral Health and Recovery), Idaho (Department of Juvenile Corrections), and Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia). The Philadelphia Fire Rescue procurement for safety blankets and smocks (Solicitation B2727416, RFQ, due July 13, 2026) and the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner IFB for Peerless and Smith & Wesson handcuffs and leg irons (IFB0603055402AA, due May 28, 2026) represent near-term opportunities. The Harris County Sheriff's Office issued an ITB for stab-resistant vests for detention officers (23/0359, due April 27, 2026, with delivery expected June 8, 2026) requiring Level III NIJ Standard 0115.00 certification, five-year panel warranties, and $25 million product liability insurance. The Philadelphia procurement is a micro purchase with a $45,000 ceiling; the Orange County handcuffs contract offers designated price preferences for certified Orange County Local Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises totaling 5–8% discounts and operates under a three-year initial term with optional two-year renewal. The Georgia Department of Administration approved a sole-source authorization for the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections to procure restraint equipment from Safe Restraints Inc. (posted June 9, 2026, challenge deadline June 12, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Behavioral Health and Recovery solicited restraint chairs for psychiatric environments (due April 16, 2026, delivery by May 15, 2026).
