UNSPSC 46182010: Respiratory mask FFP2/N95

Protective facial respiratory masks.

UNSPSC 46182010 Respiratory mask FFP2/N95 is a Commodity code covering powered and passive respirator systems and replacement masks, filters, and accessories procured by fire departments, emergency services, and health agencies to protect personnel against airborne particulates, hazardous gases, and chemical exposures during active operations and patient care. State and local governments soliciting under this code include fire and rescue departments (Austin Fire, Atlanta Fire Rescue, Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services, Hillsborough County), emergency health services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of operational departments. The scope spans both complete powered SCBA systems with full-face masks and filters—such as the CleanSpace CST Ultra units for arson investigators—and component-level replacements and accessories including spare harnesses, regulators, control modules, and ventilation circuits for maintenance cycles and fleet upgrades. Vendors compete on total cost of ownership, parts availability, service response time (commonly 24- to 48-hour windows), certified technician capacity, and compliance with NFPA standards and manufacturer specifications; several recent procurements specify sole-source or brand-locked awards to Scott or Vyaire equipment, with equivalents explicitly rejected.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The City of Austin Purchasing Office issued two quotations for CleanSpace CST Ultra Power Systems with masks and filters (IFQ 8300 JRH1026 due May 29, 2026, and IFQ 8300 JRH1028 due June 12, 2026) for Fire Arson Investigators; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited Master Contracts for durable medical equipment including respiratory supplies across eleven geographic regions with proposals due June 2, 2026, and contract award anticipated August 2026, structured with a 21.1 percent HUB utilization goal and historical annual compensation of approximately $1 million. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued a competitive sealed bid (BL074-26) for Scott SCBA Air Pack Replacements due April 15, 2026, with sole-source Scott equipment specified; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited maintenance and repair services for 40 Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators under ITB 26-00275 due June 12, 2026, estimated at $140,225 over three years and requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification and AAMI-certified technicians. The City of Atlanta Fire Rescue Department initiated a multi-step prequalification and sealed-bid process (pre-advertisement notice posted April 21, 2026) for fire and rescue equipment and SCBA maintenance services covering approximately 450 SCBA units with 48-hour service response requirements.
