UNSPSC 46161702: Rescue air bag

Equipment that uses the force of air when lifting up heavy object or widening the narrow gap from the building collapse, vehicle accident and others.

UNSPSC 46161702 Rescue air bag, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized rescue equipment and systems that state and local fire rescue departments and emergency services agencies procure to support extrication, extraction, and tactical rescue operations. Recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broad range of rescue-adjacent equipment — from rope and rigging systems (carabiners, harnesses, ascenders, anchor straps) to self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) units, extrication tools (hydraulic spreaders and cutters), water rescue gear (dry suits, personal flotation devices, fins), hazmat response suits, and support equipment such as radios and communication systems. Fire departments dominate the issuing bodies, with activity also driven by sheriff's offices and county emergency services agencies. Florida counties (Brevard, Sarasota, Orange) have posted multiple opportunities in the past four months; Georgia counties (Gwinnett, Collin in Texas) and municipal fire departments (Fayetteville, Georgia; Winter Park, Florida) round out the issuing mix. Cooperative purchasing vehicles, including H-GAC HGACBuy and NASPO ValuePoint master agreements, appear with increasing frequency as a procurement mechanism for rescue equipment.

Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Fire Resource Management's Tactical Rescue Team supplies RFQ (August 2026, quotes due August 20), which specified 22 line items of climbing and rope rescue gear by manufacturer name and model; the City of Fayetteville, Georgia Fire Department's SCBA replacement RFP (September 2026, proposals due October 5), covering units, facepieces, cylinders, and decontamination equipment; Sarasota County Emergency Services' swift water rescue equipment RFQ (May 2026, bids due May 22), sourcing dry suits, flotation devices, throw bags, and fins; and Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services' extrication equipment annual contract ITB (May 2026, bids due June 11), seeking battery-operated cutters, spreaders, and rams compliant with NFPA 1936 standards. A Georgia fire department's July 2026 notice of intent to utilize the H-GAC HGACBuy cooperative agreement with Team Equipment, Inc. reflects the growing use of pre-negotiated catalogs covering air systems, rope, thermal imaging, extrication tools, and turnout gear. No geographic concentration is evident; activity spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California, with both direct procurement and cooperative purchasing approaches present.
