UNSPSC 46181537: Insulated gloves

A glove that insulates from electricity in work of high, medium or low voltage. It is used by professionals exposed to accidents with electricity.

UNSPSC 46181537 Insulated gloves is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear little relation to the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect a broad mix of protective equipment, uniforms, and medical supplies: full-body scanner systems for detention facilities, structural firefighting protective gear (coats, pants, helmets, gloves, boots, hoods), bunker gear cleaning and maintenance services, medical and sensory supply line items, safety and non-safety uniforms for municipal departments, water rescue equipment, and fire department uniforms and leather goods. The issuing bodies span county detention facilities, city fire departments, state health and human services agencies, municipal procurement offices, transit authorities, and emergency services departments across multiple states. When recent solicitations are examined for actual content, insulated gloves appear only as discrete line items embedded within larger protective-equipment or uniform contracts rather than as the primary procurement focus.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (Collin County, Dallas, Denton State Supported Living Center), Florida (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Sarasota County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), Arizona (City of Phoenix), and a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). Representative opportunities include Collin County's RFP 2026-155 for a full-body scanner system at the Adult Detention Facility (due September 17, 2026), Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 27-0007 for protective fire clothing and accessories including gloves for the Fire & EMS Department (due October 14, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00380 for bunker gear cleaning and maintenance services over two years valued at $1,156,137 (due September 10, 2026), and the City of Owensboro's RFB 4473 for fire department uniforms, shoes, and leather goods (due May 22, 2026). The code shows minimal relevant recent activity when insulated gloves are treated as the primary commodity; most opportunities tag gloves only as accessories within broader protective-equipment or apparel procurements.
