UNSPSC 46151900: Chemical biological control equipment and accessories and supplies

Includes equipment and supplies involved in the detection, handling, protection and decontamination of chemical and biological agents and related devices by law enforcement and other civil anti-terror authorities

UNSPSC 46151900 Chemical biological control equipment and accessories and supplies (Class) encompasses first aid supplies, emergency medical supplies, and pharmaceutical inventory management that state and local governments procure for health departments, emergency services, school districts, and county operations. State and local buyers under this code acquire consumable medical supplies including bandages, gauze, gloves, thermometers, sharps containers, hand sanitizer, emergency pharmaceuticals, diagnostic equipment, vending-machine-supplied medical items, and specialty equipment such as intraosseous needles and ventilator tubing. Issuing bodies include county health and EMS departments, city fire and police departments, school districts, independent transit authorities, and regional government procurement offices. Florida jurisdictions (Pinellas County Schools, Escambia County EMS, and the City of Tucson Fire Department) appear as repeat active solicitors; Georgia counties (Forsyth, DeKalb, and Williamson) and Texas municipalities (Williamson County, Hays Consolidated ISD, and Dallas) also show recent activity. School districts and county emergency medical services drive much of the volume, typically issuing ITBs or RFQs for annual or multi-year supply agreements.

Recent opportunities reflect sustained procurement across multiple geographies. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued ITB #25-CR-069 for first aid supplies (34 line items, estimated annual usage $130,000, due November 20, 2025), and Escambia County EMS posted two sole-source solicitations in September 2026 for Hamilton Medical ventilator consumables and intraosseous needles (responses due September 29, 2026). Forsyth County, Georgia solicited first aid medical supplies and pharmaceutical supplies as-needed contracts (ITB responses due October 22, 2026); Williamson County, Texas requested EMS medical and pharmaceutical items (IFB 26IFB63, bids due August 4, 2026); and the City of Tucson Fire Department issued an RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending machines (proposals due June 24, 2026, federally funded through ARPA and HUD with Section 3 and DBE compliance requirements). The City of Detroit and Collier County also solicited medical supplies and pharmacy benefit management services. Activity spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Illinois (cooperative purchasing), Washington State, the District of Columbia, and Michigan, with no single state dominating the code's recent procurement volume.
