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 (Commodity) appears infrequently in state and local procurement. The code nominally identifies specialized inflation devices, but recent opportunities posted under this designation span a much broader rescue equipment ecosystem—from extrication tools and breathing apparatus to water rescue gear, fire apparatus, and custodial supplies—suggesting inconsistent or incorrect code application by issuing bodies. The few opportunities closely aligned with rescue air bags do not surface prominently in the dataset; instead, fire departments, county emergency services, and special-purpose rescue teams are procuring integrated rescue systems that may include air bags as components within larger contracts for powered equipment, forcing tools, and apparatus-mounted systems. Most issuers tag rescue equipment solicitations under broader Family or Class codes rather than this specific Commodity code, making activity under 46161702 itself difficult to isolate from the broader rescue equipment market.

Geographic activity appears scattered across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with no dominant concentration. Georgia (Gwinnett County, City of Atlanta) and Florida (Sarasota County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, City of Orlando) show multiple fire and emergency services solicitations, though most are posted under rescue equipment family codes rather than this specific commodity. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed bid for extrication equipment (ITB BL090-26, due June 11, 2026) specifying battery-operated cutters, spreaders, and rams; Sarasota County's Quick Quote for water rescue equipment (IFQ 2026QQ688, due May 22, 2026) seeking dry suits, flotation devices, and dive gear; and City of Atlanta's multi-step sealed bid for fire and rescue tools, equipment, and SCBA maintenance (prequalification notice posted April 21, 2026). A Georgia fire department also posted notice of intent to utilize an H-GAC cooperative purchasing agreement with Team Equipment, Inc. for rescue equipment through June 2028. None of these solicitations explicitly name rescue air bags as a line item, and the code's recent activity does not clearly reflect demand for standalone air bag procurement at the state and local level.
