UNSPSC 46181544: Waterproof trousers or pants

An outer garment for covering the body from the waist to the ankles, divided into sections to fit each leg separately that protects from water. Alias: Waterproof pants.

UNSPSC 46181544 Waterproof trousers or pants is a Commodity code that covers specialized outerwear and workwear garments, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct procurement under this specific code. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission solicited GORE-TEX lightweight rain pants and removable hoods for law enforcement personnel under ITB FWC 25.26-108 (subsequently withdrawn due to insufficient responsive bids and proceeding as an exceptional purchase under Florida Statutes 287.057(6)), and the City of Salem, Oregon procured Carhartt Storm Defender rain jackets for the Fire Department under Bid No. 267045 with custom embellishment, both illustrating specialized weather and protective gear for uniformed personnel. Beyond these examples, recent activity under the code shows a broader pattern of state and local governments acquiring apparel and uniform services as components of larger solicitations that bundle multiple clothing categories, decoration services, and rental or sales arrangements rather than purchasing waterproof trousers as a discrete line item.

The issuing bodies spanning recent opportunities include state agencies (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Texas Facilities Commission, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Salem Oregon, City of Winter Park Florida, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and school districts (Temple Independent School District). Florida and Texas show the most recent concentration of activity, with additional opportunities in Oregon and Arizona. Representative solicitations include the Florida FWC's law enforcement rain and winter gear procurement (which called for waterproof pants with embellishment, ITB format, three-year term with renewal options); the City of Salem Fire Department's Carhartt rain jacket buy (seventy units across six sizes with customization, Bid No. 267045, due June 10, 2026, one-year term with four optional renewals); and the Texas Facilities Commission's uniform purchase and rental services covering fire-resistant and maintenance uniforms for multiple employee classes (RFP 0007240, due July 7, 2026, two-year term with two optional renewals). The code itself shows light utilization in recent state and local procurement compared to broader apparel and uniform categories.
