UNSPSC 42211509 Head or face protective helmet or device for the physically challenged, a Commodity code, covers restraint chairs, safety restraining systems with helmets, and protective headgear procured by state and local corrections, law enforcement, and institutional-care agencies for use with detainees, inmates, and individuals in custody or isolation. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing integrated safety restraint equipment—welded steel restraint chairs with comprehensive strap systems and specialized helmets designed to accommodate high-weight detainees while allowing passage through standard doorways, as well as standalone WRAP safety restraining systems paired with protective helmets for officer-deployed physical restraint and de-escalation. The issuing bodies include city purchasing departments acting for corrections and police functions, county cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts and institutional users, and individual police departments. Philadelphia's Department of Prisons and Tampa Police Department appear as repeat buyers within the recent opportunity set.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah. Representative recent solicitations include Philadelphia's October 2026 micro purchase (RFQ, quote-based, due October 19, 2026) for four SureGuard Safety Restraint Chairs meeting strict dimensional and weight specifications for institutional use, with a $45,000 ceiling; Salt Lake City Corporation's June 2026 RFQ for 75 WRAP Safety Restraints with Protective Helmets for the Police Department (quoted due June 9, 2026); Tampa Police Department's August 2026 single-source intent to procure WRAP restraining systems with helmets and training; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's August 2026 multi-vendor catalog discount bid (due October 1, 2026) for special education and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $2,713,541, which appears to cast a wider net than the core restraint-equipment focus but was tagged under this code.
