UNSPSC 46181543: Waterproof jacket or raincoat

A rainproof coat that can be found in several forms.

UNSPSC 46181543 Waterproof jacket or raincoat is a Commodity code that encompasses protective outerwear procured by state and local governments for law enforcement, fire services, facilities maintenance, and field operations. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for technical weather protection gear with custom embellishment—GORE-TEX shells, rain pants, and removeable hoods for law enforcement; Carhartt Storm Defender jackets for fire departments; and flame-resistant rain jackets for facilities personnel. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Facilities Commission), municipal fire and police departments, and county governments. Several solicitations bundle waterproof jackets within broader apparel contracts that also include uniforms, accessories, screen printing, and embroidery services; others solicit rain gear as a standalone item with precise technical specifications and custom embellishment requirements (patches, reflective stripes, logos, badges).

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued ITB FWC 25.26-108 on July 15, 2026, for law enforcement rain and winter gear including GORE-TEX Lightweight Patrol Shells, Soft Shells, and rain pants in multiple sizes with mandatory custom embellishment; the ITB received fewer than two responsive bids and was withdrawn in favor of negotiated procurement under Florida Statutes 287.057(6). The City of Salem, Oregon Fire Department solicited Carhartt Storm Defender Rain Jackets (Bid No. 267045) due June 3, 2026, requiring seventy units with Velcro strips, name tapes, reflective screening, and departmental patches, with delivery by July 1, 2026. The Texas Facilities Commission included flame-resistant rain jackets and outerwear in RFP 0007240 for uniform purchase and rental services at multiple Austin locations, with proposals due July 7, 2026. The City of Phoenix issued a five-year IFB (25-0771) for safety and non-safety uniforms and accessories across multiple departments that includes rain gear with department-specific customization. Pricing structures typically require fixed-unit or fixed-discount pricing, and all solicitations mandate FOB Destination delivery with embellishment and customization services included in vendor scope.
