UNSPSC 42143601 Restraint vests and jackets (Commodity) covers specialized safety equipment used to manage and secure individuals in institutional, law enforcement, and healthcare settings. State and local governments procuring under this code buy physical restraint systems, safety chairs engineered to transport and confine detainees, accompanying apparatus such as helmets and straps, and related training and maintenance services. The mix of issuing bodies includes city departments (particularly correctional and law enforcement agencies), county purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across member jurisdictions, and state correctional systems. Recent activity shows both direct procurements for specific equipment and cooperative purchasing vehicles that bundle restraint gear with broader special education and institutional supplies catalogs.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas and Pennsylvania, with the City of Philadelphia and Tampa Police Department posting multiple solicitations since mid-2026. The City of Philadelphia Department of Prisons solicited quotes for four SureGuard Safety Restraint Chairs under an IFB (Solicitation B2728168) due October 19, 2026, specifying rigid steel-frame chairs rated for 45–475 pound capacity with two-inch nylon restraint straps and four heavy-duty wheels. The same city previously requested safety blankets and smocks for suicide and isolation prevention (B2727416, closed July 13, 2026) via micro purchase. The Tampa Police Department declared a single-source intent for WRAP restraining systems with helmet equipment and training (26X01596, objections due August 10, 2026), indicating established product preference among police agencies. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas issued a multi-vendor catalog discount bid (SPE2628, closed October 1, 2026) covering special education and supplies with an estimated expenditure of $2,713,541 over two years, indicating cooperative procurement spans restraint equipment alongside broader institutional supplies.
