UNSPSC 46182306: Safety harnesses or belts

UNSPSC 46182306 Safety harnesses or belts, a Commodity code, encompasses personal protective equipment that state and local governments procure through cooperative purchasing agreements and master contracts to equip employees and authorized recipients across operations ranging from construction and utility work to public safety and maintenance activities. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services administers a Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for Personal Protection and Safety that furnishes safety harnesses, belts, and related protective gear to government units and qualified not-for-profit agencies throughout Illinois; this vehicle demonstrates the typical procurement model under the code, where state purchasing offices establish statewide or regional master agreements to aggregate demand and reduce unit costs for distributed end-users across multiple agencies and jurisdictions.

The most recent documented activity under this code is the Illinois Department of Central Management Services' April 2026 change order notice extending JPMC 19-416CMS-BOSS4-P-11818 through June 30, 2026, to bridge the gap while CMS completed solicitation for a replacement contract. The extension, which does not increase contract costs by more than $25,000 or extend completion time by 180 days or more in aggregate, maintained continuity of safety equipment supply for Illinois government and not-for-profit entities without requiring new competitive procurement. No other recent state or local opportunities appear in the current opportunity record, suggesting limited visible procurement activity under this specific code at the commodity level in the tracked database.
