UNSPSC 46181555: Unisex visibility vest

Unisex, reflective vest with 360 degrees visibility, full zipper at front, and mesh at back for enhanced ventilation.

UNSPSC 46181555 Unisex visibility vest is a Commodity code that encompasses work state and local governments actually solicit as custom apparel and uniform sourcing with decoration services—screen printing, embroidery, and tailoring. Recent solicitations show a broad mix of end uses: t-shirts, polos, hats, activewear, and athletic uniforms for school districts; law enforcement and fire department uniforms with ballistic-rated body armor and shields for municipal police and fire; generic safety and non-safety uniforms with department-specific embellishment for city departments spanning aviation, housing, parks, transit, and water services; and single-item custom apparel runs (embroidered jackets with agency logos). Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Temple ISD, Northside ISD in Texas), cities (Phoenix, Tucson, Richardson), and state agencies (Railroad Commission of Texas). The code sees recent activity concentrated in Texas, with Arizona also active. School districts and municipal public-safety departments are the most frequent buyers, though the scope spans any city department that furnishes staff uniforms.
