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, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The source records show solicitations for respiratory protection equipment, first aid and medical supplies, emergency responder equipment frameworks, protective fire clothing, ballistic helmets and plate carriers, bunker gear cleaning and maintenance, janitorial and operational supplies, naloxone and drug deactivation systems, and prescription safety eyewear — none of which represent personal safety lights or portable illumination devices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests the code sees little relevant recent activity, or that state and local procurement offices are tagging emergency-response personal protective equipment and safety supplies under this classification inconsistently.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block span county sheriffs and fire departments (San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Santa Monica Fire Department, Columbus Fire & EMS), school districts (Pinellas County Schools), state purchasing and cooperative frameworks (Texas Department of Agriculture, State of Texas, Purchasing Cooperative of America), and county health and operational units (Seminole County Community Health, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic spread covers California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include San Mateo County's IFB 2027IFB00042 for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and related respiratory protection equipment due August 28, 2026; Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00380 for bunker gear cleaning and maintenance at an estimated value of $1,156,137 due September 10, 2026; and the City of Bartow's ITB-CS for safety products, equipment, and supplies due September 24, 2031. None of these opportunities center on personal safety lights.
