UNSPSC 46181710: Protective hood

A hood that covers hair and neck (sometimes also mouth and nose), used by professionals to protect themselves from smoke, liquids or other factors of their environment.

UNSPSC 46181710 Protective hood (Commodity) covers respiratory and head protection gear, including firefighting hoods, helmets, and head coverings that state and local governments procure as components of personal protective equipment ensembles or as standalone replacement items. State and local buyers—primarily fire departments, detention facilities, and emergency services agencies—source protective hoods under this code through cooperative purchasing vehicles, as-needed annual contracts, and bundled protective-equipment solicitations. Recent opportunities show hoods being solicited as part of comprehensive structural firefighting ensembles alongside coats, pants, gloves, and boots, all meeting NFPA 1971 standards, or as discrete line items in uniform and accessory contracts. Issuing bodies include city fire departments (Columbus, Owensboro), county fire rescue services (Hillsborough County), regional purchasing councils serving multiple fire companies (Capitol Region Purchasing Council in Hartford County, Connecticut), and special-purpose state agencies. The code sees activity across multiple states but concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Connecticut in the recent-opportunities block.

The Capitol Region Purchasing Council posted a cooperative-purchasing RFB (800PROTECTIVECLOTHINGGEARANDACCESSORIES, due October 28, 2026) for complete structural firefighting ensembles including protective hoods meeting NFPA 1971, with the contract running November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027, serving multiple member fire companies across Hartford County and statewide departments. Columbus Consolidated Government issued an RFB (RFB No. 27-0007, due October 14, 2026) for protective fire clothing and accessories including hoods and boots for the Columbus Fire & EMS Department, anticipating approximately 30 sets on a two-year contract with three optional one-year renewals. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited maintenance and cleaning services for bunker gear (coats and pants) under ITB 26-00380 (due September 10, 2026) at an estimated contract value of $1,156,137 over two years, requiring Third Party-verified Independent Service Provider certification and factory-trained warranty centers. The City of Owensboro posted RFB 4473 (due May 22, 2026) to establish a single-source supplier for fire department uniforms, shoes, leather goods, and associated equipment with embroidered Maltese logos and OFD lettering in specified dimensions and colors. The code shows steady procurement activity across fire and emergency services, with multi-year contracts and recurring annual refresh cycles typical of the market.
