UNSPSC 46181702: Facial shields

UNSPSC 46181702 Facial shields (Commodity) covers protective eyewear and head protection equipment that state and local governments procure for operational personnel, though recent solicitations show the code is applied broadly to personal protective equipment, safety supplies, and even helmets and glasses that fall outside the nominal "facial shields" scope. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include cities (Phoenix, Philadelphia, Salem), counties (Dallas, Jackson), school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Northside Independent School District), and standalone government agencies. The work being solicited ranges from specialized flight helmets with communications equipment and repair services to commodity first aid supplies, prescription safety glasses, KN95 masks, and general custodial and safety equipment bundles—indicating the code is used as a catch-all for protective equipment procurement rather than strictly facial shields alone.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Florida, Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Missouri. The City of Phoenix is soliciting flight helmets, accessories, and repair services (RFQ-26-0319, due July 6, 2026) with a five-year initial term and optional two-year extensions, requiring an authorized Gentex distributor with OEM certifications and Arizona-based operations. Pinellas County Schools (Florida) posted an ITB for first aid supplies (ITB #25-CR-069, due November 20, 2025) with an estimated annual spend of $130,000 and Florida-vendor preference. Dallas County, Salem (Oregon), and Philadelphia have posted shorter-cycle quotes for antiseptic wipes, prescription safety glasses (Bid 267083, due August 26, 2026, with a contract term through June 30, 2027), and KN95 masks respectively. Northside Independent School District (Texas) solicited custodial supplies through RFP 2026-071 (due June 4, 2026), and Jackson County, Missouri posted a 24-month safety equipment and supplies contract (RFQ 26033, due June 9, 2026) with an estimated annual spend of $32,000 and preference for Missouri-manufactured goods. Opportunities range from small micro-purchases under $40,000 to longer-term frames with renewal options, with frequent local-vendor and state-preference provisions.
