UNSPSC 46181554: Cooling vest

Cooling vests are designed to be worn in high temperature work enviroments. They can be considered safety or work apparel.

UNSPSC 46181554 Cooling vest is a Commodity code that covers protective apparel and accessories purchased by state and local government agencies, but the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for cooling vests. Instead, the block contains nine recent state and local opportunities spanning protective fire clothing, bunker gear cleaning and maintenance, miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies, uniforms and accessories, water rescue equipment, and full-body scanner systems. The cooling vest code does not align with the activities documented in these opportunities. State and local governments do solicit protective and occupational apparel through this taxonomy tier, but current market activity under this specific commodity shows little relevant recent purchasing. The issuing bodies in the opportunities block include fire departments, counties, cities, and state agencies purchasing protective gear for emergency services and detention facilities, but none of these solicitations mention cooling vests as a line item or core scope element.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans multiple states—Texas (Collin County, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Sarasota County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Minnesota (MMCAP), and Kentucky (City of Owensboro)—but none document procurement of cooling vests. Representative recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department ITB 26-00380 for bunker gear cleaning and maintenance (estimated value $1,156,137 over two years, bids due September 10, 2026), the Columbus Consolidated Government RFB No. 27-0007 for protective fire clothing and accessories including coats, pants, hoods, gloves, helmets, and boots for approximately 30 sets (bids due October 14, 2026), and the City of Owensboro RFB 4473 for fire department uniforms and leather goods (bids due May 22, 2026). The cooling vest commodity code shows no active state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities dataset.
