UNSPSC 46161712: Personal safety alert

Equipment that is worn for the safety of staff that moves to the risky place for the purpose of disaster prevention or rescue at the place of disaster or accident area.

UNSPSC 46161712 Personal safety alert is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase personal safety alert and rescue equipment under this code, including fire rescue apparatus components, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) systems, chemical and biological protective suits, extrication tools, cliff rescue rigging, water rescue gear, tactical rescue team supplies, and emergency response equipment. Recent solicitations show fire departments, county emergency services divisions, and special-purpose rescue units acquiring specialized, often brand-specific gear where interoperability with existing apparatus or warranty requirements drive sole-source or limited-competition procurements. The issuing bodies span Florida county commissions and fire rescue departments, Georgia and Texas municipal fire departments, county sheriff cliff rescue teams, county emergency management and detention facility operations, and state procurement offices awarding cooperative purchasing agreements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with scattered procurement in Texas and California. Representative opportunities include Brevard County Board of County Commissioners' sole-source procurement of UPF brand Poly Tanks for fire apparatus under Florida Statutes section 287.057(5)(3)(c) (November 17, 2025 response deadline, $11,000 value); the City of Winter Park, Florida's single-source procurement of NAFECO Holmatro Rescue Tools under Florida Statute 287.057 (November 24, 2025 deadline, $50,000 estimated FY 2026 spending); Gwinnett County's June 11, 2026 sealed-bid procurement of battery-operated extrication equipment on an annual contract with four one-year renewal options; Sarasota County's May 22, 2026 Quick Quote for water rescue equipment and uniform goods (NRS dry suits, Force 6 personal flotation devices, communication systems, $50,000 cap); and Collin County, Texas's RFP 2026-155 for a full-body scanner system for Adult Detention Facility admissions (September 17, 2026 deadline, $242,000 first-year upfront cost). Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26349-RFP-MST for fire protection system services across 235 schools with structural separation of duties between inspection and repair vendors and evaluation weight for small business enterprise utilization (October 5, 2026 deadline). The City of Fayetteville, Georgia solicited SCBA replacement systems under RFP #FD357-01 (October 5, 2026 deadline).
