UNSPSC 46181903: Earmuff replacement parts or accessories

UNSPSC 46181903 Earmuff replacement parts or accessories is a Commodity code that captures personal protective equipment accessories and supplies sourced by state and local agencies, though the recent opportunities block shows activity extending well beyond earmuffs alone to encompass a broader range of first aid, safety, and protective equipment consumables and services. State and local governments buy replacement and repair parts for respiratory and hearing protection, first aid supplies, prescription and non-prescription safety eyewear, and related personal protective equipment and accessories under this code. The issuing bodies range across city procurement offices, county governments, independent school districts, and special-purpose districts, with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFQ for flight helmets, accessories, and repair services (RFQ-26-0319, response due July 6, 2026); the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida ITB for first aid supplies with approximately $130,000 annual estimated usage (ITB #25-CR-069, response due November 20, 2025); Jackson County, Missouri's bid for safety equipment and supplies with an estimated annual spend of $32,000 (Solicitation 26033, response due June 9, 2026); and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas's RFP for custodial supplies (RFP 2026-071, response due June 4, 2026).

Recent activity spans Arizona, Florida, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, with no geographic concentration evident. The City of Phoenix flight helmet solicitation notably requires OEM authorization, Arizona residency, local in-person fitting capability, and operates under DBE flow-down requirements; that contract runs five years with two optional two-year extensions beginning December 1, 2026. The City of Salem, Oregon's bid for prescription safety glasses (Bid No. 267083, response due August 26, 2026) requires a local fitting location in Salem and compliance with Oregon resident-bidder preference statutes. Jackson County, Missouri applies Missouri-manufactured-goods preference and accepts MBE, WBE, and small business set-aside claims. The Philadelphia micro purchase for KN95 masks ($40,000 ceiling, response due August 3, 2026) permits MBE/WBE documentation and LGBTQ applicant diversity forms. Delivery and warranty terms vary significantly across jurisdictions—Phoenix requires 60-day delivery windows and 12-month warranties, Salem expects five-business-day turnaround, and Pinellas County sets as-needed warehouse delivery to Largo, Florida.
