UNSPSC 46161716 Emergency rescue equipment, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized apparatus and gear state and local jurisdictions procure to equip fire departments, rescue teams, and emergency response units — including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) systems, extrication tools, rope and cliff rescue equipment, water rescue gear, chemical protective suits, and decontamination extractors. Recent solicitations reveal active procurement across fire departments, emergency services, and detention facilities, with work ranging from complete system replacements to tactical rescue team supplies and specialized fabrication services for fire apparatus components. Issuing bodies include county fire departments, city fire rescue divisions, county emergency services departments, state procurement offices, school district facilities management, and regional transit authorities. Brevard County Fire Rescue and Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services appear repeatedly as active buyers within the recent opportunities block. Florida jurisdictions dominate recent activity, with additional solicitations from Georgia, Texas, and California; the geographic mix reflects dispersed municipal and county fire services across multiple regions rather than concentration in a single state.

Representative recent opportunities include Brevard County Board of County Commissioners' sole-source procurement for United Plastics Fabricating polypropylene water and foam tank assemblies for fire apparatus (due November 17, 2025); the City of Fayetteville, Georgia Fire Department's RFP for a complete SCBA replacement system including units, facepieces, cylinders, communication capabilities, training, and decontamination extractor (proposals due October 5, 2026); Gwinnett County's sealed-bid solicitation for battery-operated extrication tools, spreaders, combo tools, and rams on an annual contract with four one-year renewal options, with 2020 Edition NFPA 1936 compliance required (bids due June 11, 2026); Sarasota County's quick quote for water rescue equipment including dry suits, personal flotation devices, communication stations, and specialized gear (quotes due May 22, 2026, $50,000 maximum); and Collin County's RFP for a full-body scanner system for detention facility admissions with contraband detection capability, turnkey installation, training, and technical support (estimated first-year cost $242,000, proposals due September 17, 2026). Cooperative purchasing through NASPO ValuePoint and H-GAC HGACBuy programs appears in the block, indicating that some jurisdictions leverage regional and national master agreements rather than sole procurement. Most recent opportunities are posted RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs with response dates clustering between May and November 2026.
