UNSPSC 46161705: Hydraulic rescue equipment set

Equipment that is used when rescue activities are undertaken by promptly cutting off or removing the barriers by using the hydraulic force when there is any vehicle accident or building collapse.

UNSPSC 46161705 Hydraulic rescue equipment set is a Commodity code capturing specialized extrication, water rescue, breathing apparatus, and climbing/rope rescue systems that state and local fire departments, sheriff's offices, and emergency management agencies procure for rescue operations and emergency response. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying complete turnkey systems—Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus replacement programs with training and support, battery-operated extrication tool packages with chargers and loaner equipment provisions, water rescue dry suits and personal flotation devices, rope rescue harnesses and carabiners, and tactical rescue team supplies including ascenders, pulleys, and decontamination extractors. A Brevard County sole-source procurement for polypropylene water and foam tank assemblies for fire apparatus and a City of Winter Park single-source buy for Holmatro rescue tools demonstrate that many opportunities narrow to specific authorized dealers or sole manufacturers, particularly where warranty preservation or equipment compatibility requirements drive exclusivity.

Fire departments and county emergency services departments dominate the issuing body mix, with scattered activity from state procurement offices and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Florida shows sustained recent activity—Brevard County (multiple sole-source notices through November 2025), City of Winter Park (NAFECO Holmatro equipment, November 2025), and Sarasota County (water rescue equipment, May 2026)—alongside Georgia jurisdictions (Gwinnett County extrication and tactical rescue team supplies, June and August 2026; City of Fayetteville SCBA replacement, October 2026) and Texas (Collin County detention facility body scanner integration with rescue support, September 2026). State-level cooperative purchasing agreements amplify reach—NASPO ValuePoint master agreements for fire apparatus (Mississippi, June 2026) and H-GAC HGACBuy indefinite-quantity rescue equipment frameworks extend regional and national sourcing. Recent opportunities cluster in the second and third quarters of 2026, with response dates between May and November 2026, indicating active end-of-fiscal-year and budget-cycle procurement cycles across municipal and county fire rescue departments.
