UNSPSC 46182211: Lumbar protector or back brace

A device that offers support and protection for lumbar zone or lower back.

UNSPSC 46182211 Lumbar protector or back brace (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent solicitations tagged under this code—a White County, Georgia building-repair RFP for ambulance-garage structural damage and a City of Tampa IFB for medical and first-aid supplies—do not involve lumbar protectors or back braces. The White County opportunity (Solicitation PE77037NONST2027000000028, due July 31, 2026) seeks licensed commercial general contractors for termite-damage restoration, exterior siding replacement, and truss repair at an EMS facility; the Tampa Fire Department opportunity (Bid 26-P-00145, due March 13, 2026) solicits 169 line items of emergency-response medical consumables including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, and bandaging materials, with an estimated contract value of $700,000. Neither procurement involves orthopedic protective equipment or back supports.

The source reveals no recent state and local opportunities explicitly procuring lumbar protectors or back braces. The code's nominal scope—personal protective or therapeutic back-support devices—does not match the structural construction and emergency-medical-supply work actually tagged under these records. Without recent opportunities that align with the code's intended commodity classification, business development professionals should treat this code as dormant in current state and local procurement activity.
