UNSPSC 46181503: Protective coveralls

UNSPSC 46181503 Protective coveralls is a Commodity code with minimal direct recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show substantial mismatch: the largest posting, Seminole County's Naloxone & Drug Deactivation Systems IFB, involves pharmaceutical and medical equipment procurement wholly unrelated to protective apparel. The remaining opportunities—MMCAP medical supplies, Dallas hip boots and rain suits, Sarasota County water rescue equipment, Owensboro fire department uniforms, Palm Beach safety items, Phoenix BDU and tactical gear, and multiple DART footwear and chemical warmer procurements—span protective equipment, uniforms, footwear, and clothing but do not isolate protective coveralls as a distinct line item. State and local bodies that do solicit protective gear (fire departments, emergency services, transit authorities, county public health departments) typically buy as part of larger uniform or PPE contracts rather than coveralls as a single commodity.

Geographic spread includes Florida (Seminole County, Sarasota County, Palm Beach), Texas (Dallas, Phoenix, Klein ISD), California (CAL FIRE), Kentucky (Owensboro), and Minnesota (MMCAP cooperative purchasing serving eight thousand government members nationwide). Most issuers are municipal fire departments, county emergency services, and transit authorities. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix RFQ-26-0058 for fire department BDU's, fatigue clothing, and embroidered gear (response deadline April 16, 2026); Sarasota County's swift-water rescue equipment quote (May 22, 2026 deadline); and CAL FIRE IFB 7CA07542 for PPE cleaning and repair services at the Training Center in Ione, California (April 27, 2026 deadline). The code shows no clear active demand for protective coveralls specifically—vendors should verify whether opportunities actually require coveralls or conflate them with broader tactical and emergency-response uniform procurement.
