UNSPSC 46161703: Safety air mat

Rescue equipment that is installed to reduce the impact and rescue human life as it is used for emergency evacuation purposes when an accident occurs or installed in places where there is a risk of falling.

UNSPSC 46161703 Safety air mat is a Commodity code that describes specialized protective equipment and materials used in emergency response and occupational safety applications. Recent state and local solicitations reveal that governments purchase safety air mats primarily as components within broader emergency rescue, extrication, and hazardous materials response programs, often bundled with other protective gear, breathing apparatus, and decontamination equipment. The code reflects equipment procurement across fire departments, detention facilities, and emergency management agencies, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation activity specifically tagged to this commodity alone. Most activity involves safety air mats as part of integrated rescue-equipment packages rather than standalone purchases. County fire rescue departments and state emergency response agencies drive this procurement, with issuing bodies including fire departments, emergency services divisions, and detention facilities seeking compliance with NFPA standards and manufacturer-specific equipment compatibility requirements.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California, with isolated activity in Colorado and Mississippi through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include Brevard County Board of County Commissioners' sole-source procurement for UPF brand Poly Tanks and fabrication services for Fire Rescue apparatus (posted October 19, 2026, due November 17, 2025, valued at $11,000); Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services' informal written quotation for Tactical Rescue Team supplies including specialized climbing and rescue equipment (posted August 13, 2026, due August 20, 2026); Sarasota County's Quick Quote for water rescue equipment and uniforms (posted May 8, 2026, due May 22, 2026, budget capped at $50,000); and the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative procurement for fire apparatus released by Mississippi (posted May 1, 2026, due June 10, 2026). Set-asides and small-business-enterprise utilization preferences appear in some opportunities but are not systematic across the code.
