UNSPSC 46191511: Fire hot spot detector

Equipment that can be confirmed with the complete fire extinguishing to prevent the recurrence after subduing the fire and confirming the excessive heat as well as the fire location when the hot spot is not confirmed at the fire site.

UNSPSC 46191511 Fire hot spot detector is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, captures fire protection system equipment, monitoring services, and inspection work across municipal facilities, county operations, schools, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. The code's actual purchasing activity diverges from its nominal product name: state and local governments are buying fire alarm system upgrades, fire sprinkler inspection and maintenance contracts, fire alarm monitoring and response services, and fire protection system repairs rather than discrete detector units. The issuing bodies span city fire and facilities management departments (Arlington Parks and Recreation, Phoenix, Dallas, Broward County, Palo Alto), county jails and sheriff operations (Collin County, Clay County), school districts (Bibb County Schools, Stephens County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools), and specialized transit or water authorities (Eugene Water & Electric Board, Orange County Transportation Authority). Recent opportunities show activity in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Oregon, and California, with particular concentration in Florida across multiple county and municipal systems.

Representative recent solicitations include Collin County, Texas issuing IFB 2026-389 for replacement of institutional sprinklers in jail cells with Tyco Raven equipment (bids due November 19, 2026, $150,000 opinion of probable cost), the City of Arlington, Texas requesting an RFP for annual fire and security alarm monitoring services covering 43 security and 17 fire alarm systems (proposals due October 29, 2026), and the City of Palo Alto issuing an IFB for automatic fire extinguishing system inspection, testing, and repair services across 33 municipal facilities under a three-year contract (bids due March 23, 2026, approximately $500,000 estimated value). Marion County, Florida is seeking ITB bids for fire sprinkler and fire pump inspections at 49 county facilities (June 11, 2026 deadline, two-year term with two optional two-year renewals), and Bibb County Schools in Georgia posted RFP 26-042 for annual fire alarm inspection services across 49 school facilities (June 1, 2026 deadline). Broward County issued a fixed-price IFB for fire alarm system upgrades at nine library locations (May 18, 2026 deadline). Prevailing wage requirements, E-Verify compliance, performance bonding, and comprehensive general liability insurance are standard across these procurements; school districts and transit authorities frequently emphasize small business enterprise participation and CBE set-asides.
