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, but the recent opportunities posted under it do not align with the code's nominal scope—state and local governments are not soliciting waterproof pants or trousers through these channels. The posted opportunities span janitorial supplies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), uniform purchase and rental services including rain jackets and specialized outerwear (Texas Facilities Commission), stormwater infrastructure construction (City of Brownsville), fire department gear including rain jackets and battle dress uniforms (Salem Fire Department and Phoenix Fire Department), and rainsuits for inmate use (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). While some of these solicitations reference rain jackets, flame-resistant outerwear, and rainsuits, none specifically target waterproof trousers or pants as the primary procurement objective. The issuing bodies include county commissioners, state facilities agencies, cities, fire departments, and state correctional departments across multiple states, but the code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity.

The geographic distribution of these misaligned opportunities spans Texas (multiple TDCJ and municipal solicitations), Florida (Hillsborough County), Oregon (Salem), and Arizona (Phoenix), with no concentration in a single state. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026; Texas Facilities Commission's RFP 0007240 for uniform purchase and rental services (including rain jackets and flame-resistant garments) due July 7, 2026; and City of Phoenix's RFQ-26-0058 for BDUs and fatigue clothing due April 16, 2026. The code as currently tagged appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than a meaningful signal of procurement activity in waterproof pants or trousers.
