UNSPSC 46191501: Smoke detectors

UNSPSC 46191501 Smoke detectors (Commodity) encompasses battery-powered and hardwired smoke alarm units that state and local governments procure for institutional fire safety programs, community risk reduction initiatives, and facility upgrades. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying both standalone ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors and combination smoke/carbon monoxide units to meet NFPA 72 and UL listing standards. Issuing bodies span municipal fire departments, county sheriff's offices, school districts, housing authorities, and state health departments; the mix includes both small standalone buys and large-scale grant-funded distribution programs. A notable cluster of activity centers on smoke detector procurement for fire safety infrastructure upgrades, emergency management operations, and federally or state-funded community risk reduction programming.

Geographic activity in the past six months concentrates in Florida (Brevard County, Sarasota County, Clay County), Texas (Dallas, Collin County), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Groton), Georgia (St. Marys), Mississippi, California, the District of Columbia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the City of Dallas Fire/Fire Prevention's bid for First Alert/BRK battery-powered smoke alarms with 10-year sealed lithium batteries and ionization sensors due September 9, 2026 (IFB); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's request for smoke alarms and combination smoke/CO alarms meeting dual ionization and photoelectric sensor requirements, due October 28, 2026 (RFQ, posted October 7, 2026); the Mississippi Insurance Department's FEMA-grant-funded procurement of sealed-battery smoke alarms with ionization sensors at a fixed $500,000 budget (lowest-unit-price IFB, due August 31, 2026); and Sarasota County Fire Department's invitation for quotes to supply fire alarms and smoke detectors for the Community Risk Reduction Program as a one-time purchase (IFQ, posted August 7, 2026). Opportunities reflect steady procurement velocity driven by grant funding, facility modernization, and regulatory compliance mandates.
