UNSPSC 46161714: Life line

A rope that is used for evacuation purpose when the emergency situation arises in skyscraper where the stairs and others are not available to use.

UNSPSC 46161714 Life line, a Commodity code, spans safety and rescue equipment that state and local fire departments and emergency services procure to enable structural rescue, water rescue, extrication, and personnel protection operations. State and local buyers under this code acquire a mix of dedicated rescue equipment—extrication tools, strut systems, rescue ladders, water rescue gear, breathing apparatus, helmets, and related accessories—alongside integration into apparatus and broader emergency response infrastructure. Fire departments, county emergency services, and special-purpose rescue teams dominate the issuing-body mix, with individual cities and counties managing procurement on behalf of fire rescue departments and technical rescue teams.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with scattered activity in New Jersey, California, and Mississippi.
