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 (Commodity) covers air-cushioned fall-protection equipment and rescue support systems that state and local fire departments, emergency services, and public safety agencies procure as part of broader rescue and emergency response inventories. Recent solicitations show the code capturing only tangential state and local activity; the overwhelming majority of rescue equipment procurement under related UNSPSC codes targets extrication tools, breathing apparatus systems, ladders, helmets, and strut systems rather than standalone safety air mats.

Recent activity in the broader rescue equipment space is concentrated among fire departments in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas, California, and across NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing participants. Gwinnett County (Georgia) issued a competitive sealed bid for extrication equipment with a June 11, 2026 response deadline; the City of Atlanta (Georgia) posted a pre-advertisement for fire and rescue tools, equipment, and SCBA services with a May 21, 2026 prequalification deadline; Sarasota County (Florida) requested quick quotes for water rescue equipment by May 22, 2026; the City of Winter Park (Florida) conducted a single-source procurement for NAFECO rescue tools; Brevard County (Florida) pursued sole-source procurements for poly tank fabrication and chemical containers; Pinellas County (Florida) and the Tampa Bay Area Cooperative solicited urban search and rescue strut systems with a June 19, 2025 deadline; Hillsborough County (Florida) sought paramedic helmets and RIT packs with a March 20, 2026 submission date; and the City of Austin (Texas) issued multiple invitations for quotation covering marine soft top rescue boards and rescue ladders. The State of New Jersey, State of Mississippi, and State of California also posted statewide or specialized procurements spanning law enforcement equipment, fire apparatus, and medical transport equipment. The code itself shows no explicit safety air mat solicitations in the recent opportunities block; procurement activity is concentrated in extrication, breathing apparatus, rope rescue, and structural collapse response equipment under adjacent UNSPSC classifications.
