UNSPSC 46181804: Goggles

UNSPSC 46181804 Goggles (Commodity) spans protective eyewear and specialized optical protection equipment that state and local governments procure for operational safety across law enforcement, public safety, and administrative functions. Recent opportunities show a divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity: while the code nominally covers goggles, state and local solicitations under this code actually include flight helmets with integrated eye protection, prescription safety glasses, night vision goggles, and KN95 masks—a broader suite of eye and respiratory protection than "goggles" alone suggests. The mix of issuing bodies reflects safety-critical operations: the City of Phoenix (police and fire helicopter crews), County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner (California), cities (Salem, Philadelphia), school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas), and counties (Dallas, Jackson, Pinellas) all solicit under this code. Jackson County has issued a 24-month supply contract for general safety equipment including safety glasses and protective gear; Pinellas County School Board sought first aid supplies on an as-needed basis; and Northside Independent School District replaced an expiring custodial-supplies contract. The City of Phoenix's five-year RFQ for Gentex Alpha Eagle flight helmets and associated repair services represents the largest and most specialized recent opportunity, requiring OEM certification, local Arizona presence, and dedicated in-person fitting capability.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona, with secondary opportunities in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix RFQ #26-0319 for flight helmets and repair services (sealed offers due July 6, 2026, non-mandatory pre-offer conference June 15, 2026, five-year initial term with two optional two-year extensions commencing December 1, 2026); County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner IFB #IFB-060-3019703-JG for maintenance, testing, and inspection of L3 Harris ANVIS-9 night vision goggles (bids due June 30, 2026, three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals, 5% local-vendor preference for OCLSB or DVBE certification); City of Salem Bid No. 267083 for prescription safety glasses with local fitting capability (bids due August 26, 2026, ANSI Z87+ certified, initial term through June 30, 2027, with up to four one-year renewals); and Jackson County RFQ #26033 for safety equipment and supplies including safety glasses and protective gear (bids due June 9, 2026, 24-month term with two optional 12-month extensions, estimated annual value $32,000, Missouri-manufactured-goods preference, MBE/WBE certifications accepted). The source shows no significant activity for generic goggles alone; opportunities center on specialized protective eyewear (prescription, night vision, aviation-rated) and integrated head/eye protection systems for public-safety operations.
