UNSPSC 46182405: Air shower

A facility that removes pollutant substances that are attached to the worker or carried goods before the worker enters into the clean room or moving to the clean space.

UNSPSC 46182405 Air shower is a Commodity code that covers portable shower and hygiene delivery systems deployed during emergency and disaster response operations. State and local governments solicit this code primarily for on-call emergency services frameworks rather than routine hygiene facility procurement. The Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Resilience and Emergency Management, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division structure their procurements as multi-vendor standby pools activated during declared disasters, extreme weather, mass care operations, and public health emergencies; vendors supply shower facilities, tents, laundry services, and related hygiene infrastructure as part of broader sanitation and emergency shelter support. Issuing bodies span state emergency-management agencies, county emergency-management divisions, and regional disaster-response authorities. Work is solicited in the form of Request for Application (RFA) or Request for Proposals (RFP) with on-call or standby activation terms, meaning vendors are pre-positioned in contract relationships and mobilized only during qualifying events rather than providing continuous service.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Human Services issued an RFA (Solicitation S1000000016927) for on-call hygiene services with an application deadline of December 31, 2026, seeking shower facilities, hand wash stations, laundry, waste removal, and related services for shelter locations statewide during emergencies; the contract term runs through June 30, 2027, with optional seven-year extension. Collier County Procurement Services Division issued an RFP (Solicitation 25-8416) for Major Incident Standby Services with a proposal deadline of March 18, 2026, requesting emergency response contractors capable of delivering sanitation packages, shelters, power generation, and related resources within 96 hours of activation, with a five-year initial term and five-year renewal option; historical spending runs approximately $1.2 million annually, with funding from FEMA and state/federal disaster sources. Both solicitations emphasize rapid mobilization (12 to 96 hours), multi-year standby relationships, and qualification requirements including insurance, licensing, and FEMA compliance where applicable. Set-asides favor certified minority-owned, women-owned, and small businesses in Oregon; Collier County applies local vendor preference. No incumbent vendors or baseline contract values are specified in either solicitation.
