UNSPSC 46161606: Life clothes for fishing boat

Life jackets that fishermen can wear instead of work clothes when fishing

UNSPSC 46161606 Life clothes for fishing boat is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized protective apparel and gear for maritime personnel, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broader water rescue, emergency response, and environmental remediation work across Florida and other jurisdictions. State and local governments procuring under or near this code include municipalities (City of Fort Myers, City of Tampa), counties (Sarasota County, Broward County, Orange County, San Mateo County), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, on behalf of Washington State counties and participating public entities nationwide). The mix of issuing bodies spans municipal public works and environmental departments, county emergency services and sheriff's offices, water treatment facilities, and convention centers; notably, Sarasota County has issued multiple rapid-response solicitations for specialized water rescue and diving equipment within the same window.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, with recent solicitations from Fort Myers, Tampa, Sarasota, Broward, and Orange Counties, alongside activity in Washington State (through Sourcewell) and California (San Mateo County). Representative recent opportunities include Sarasota County's Quick Quote for rapid diver equipment (RFQ 2026QQ703, due May 22, 2026), which named specific regulators, fins, boots, full-face masks, and diving communication units; Sarasota County's separate Quick Quote for swift water rescue equipment (RFQ 2026QQ688, due May 22, 2026), specifying dry suits, boots, personal flotation devices, and rescue knives; the City of Fort Myers' RFP for Derelict Vessel Removal Service (RFP26067, due November 10, 2026), which requires diver certification and environmental compliance but does not itemize life clothes; and Sourcewell's multi-jurisdictional RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026), which applies broadly across public entities but does not specify apparel. The code shows minimal recent activity directly addressing fishing boat life clothes or dedicated maritime-sector procurement; opportunities are concentrated instead in emergency response, water rescue, and environmental remediation apparel and equipment.
