UNSPSC 46182212: Shoulder protector or support

A device that offers support and protection for shoulders.

UNSPSC 46182212 Shoulder protector or support, a Commodity code, shows limited current state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities posted under this code involve building repairs (White County, Georgia) and medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue operations (City of Tampa), neither of which represents shoulder protectors or support devices. State and local governments do procure personal protective equipment and medical supplies through their purchasing systems, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect that buying pattern. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment in state and local systems or that shoulder protection demand is being met through blanket orders, cooperative purchasing arrangements, or alternate codes not visible in recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB postings.

The two opportunities on record originate from a county board of commissioners in Georgia and a municipal fire department in Florida. White County Board of Commissioners posted an RFP (due July 31, 2026) for emergency services facility repairs; the City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued an IFB (due March 13, 2026) for medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a sheltered market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. Neither opportunity addresses personal protective equipment such as shoulder protectors. The absence of relevant recent opportunities under this code and the geographic scatter across Georgia and Florida suggest minimal current pursuit potential in state and local shoulder-protection procurement.
