UNSPSC 46161710: Rescue light

A light that undertakes the role to induce people to be rescued or people working on rescuing with the light used in the rescue activities.

UNSPSC 46161710 Rescue light is a Commodity code that captures specialized lighting equipment and related gear used in emergency rescue operations, including portable light systems, task-specific illumination for confined-space and water rescue, and integrated lighting components for rescue apparatus and personal protective equipment. State and local governments procure rescue lights as part of broader equipment packages supporting fire departments, emergency medical services, tactical rescue teams, and detention facility security operations. The recent solicitation record shows rescue lighting integrated into larger acquisitions—from Brevard County Fire Rescue's fabrication of poly tanks for fire apparatus to the City of Winter Park's procurement of Holmatro extrication tools, and from Sarasota County's water rescue equipment package to the City of Fayetteville's SCBA replacement program. Issuing bodies include county fire departments, municipal fire agencies, county sheriff tactical teams, special districts such as school-based fire protection contracts, and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles. Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services and Brevard County Fire Rescue appear repeatedly across multiple 2026 solicitations, signaling sustained equipment lifecycle management activity among larger Florida and Georgia jurisdictions.

Geographic concentration reflects recent activity in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in California (CERT Kit Pro 2 procurement), Texas (TEEX rescue equipment master order), and Colorado (Collin County full-body scanner system in the detention context, though that scope diverges from rescue lighting proper). The most closely aligned recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's RFQ for tactical rescue team supplies (22 line items of climbing and rope equipment, August 20, 2026 deadline) and the County of San Mateo's RFQ for rope rescue equipment including harnesses, carabiners, and ascenders (September 6, 2026 deadline); both called for manufacturer-specified or approved-equivalent gear with cost and conformity as primary evaluation drivers. Brevard County's sole-source procurement for United Plastics Fabricating poly tanks ($11,000, November 17, 2025 deadline) and Sarasota County's quick quote for water rescue equipment including dry suits, PFDs, and knives ($50,000 cap, May 22, 2026 deadline) demonstrate the variety of rescue-adjacent procurements state and local bodies issue. The code shows active but fragmented procurement activity concentrated among mid-sized and larger fire departments with established rescue capabilities rather than widespread baseline activity across all jurisdictions.
