UNSPSC 46182502: Personal safety light

Equipment that is enabled to confirm the location of person in activity with the flickering light by a third party as it is attached to the body of worker in the event of fighting to put down a fire or night rescue work and others.

UNSPSC 46182502 Personal safety light is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title suggests portable illumination devices for worker safety, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve pesticide disposal event logistics, ballistic protective equipment for fire departments, janitorial supplies, naloxone and drug deactivation systems, prescription safety eyewear, and first aid supplies—none of which are personal safety lights. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all for safety-related consumables and services rather than for the specific product category the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing-body types including state departments (Texas Department of Agriculture), county governments (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Escambia County, San Mateo County), cities (City of Santa Monica), and school districts (School Board of Pinellas County), with activity concentrated in Florida and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Agriculture's RFP for pesticide disposal events (5510000952, due August 17, 2026, estimated over $100,000), the City of Santa Monica Fire Department's ITB for ballistic helmets and protective plates (127001651, due July 14, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB for janitorial and operational supplies for fire rescue operations (ITB2600319, estimated $765,679.84, due July 24, 2026). Given the absence of personal safety light solicitations and the presence of unrelated procurement activity, this code presents limited pursuit value for vendors focused on portable illumination devices.
