UNSPSC 46191603: Fire hoses or nozzles

UNSPSC 46191603 Fire hoses or nozzles (Commodity) covers the supply of new fire hoses, nozzles, and related coupling and accessory products that state and local fire departments, water resources departments, and emergency services agencies procure for operational firefighting and hydrant maintenance. Recent solicitations show active demand across municipalities for attack hoses (1.5-inch through 5-inch diameters), booster hoses, suction hoses, forestry hose, hydrant flusher kits, and fog nozzles—all typically specified to NFPA 1961, 1962, and 1964 standards with U.S. manufacturing, U.S.-owned company production, and qualified manufacturer couplings (Detroit Thread, MNST/FNST, NH). Issuing bodies span city fire departments (Detroit, Atlanta), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough, Oconee, Bergen), county water resources and purchasing departments (Gwinnett, Hillsborough), state fire agencies (California CAL FIRE), and one county emergency medical services agency; fire departments and water resources divisions dominate recent activity. Repeat buyers include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, which posted two separate hose and accessory bids within six weeks (ITB 26-00281 in May and ITQ 26-00301 in June 2026).
