UNSPSC 46191611: Fire hose cart

A two-wheeled, hand-drawn cart with hose wound on a reel, which is used at commercial and industrial sites.

UNSPSC 46191611 Fire hose cart (Commodity) describes equipment and supplies purchased by state and local fire departments and water resource agencies, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader range of firefighting hose products, hose-related equipment, and fire rescue tools than the narrower "cart" descriptor suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy new, NFPA-compliant fire hoses in multiple diameters and lengths (attack hose, booster hose, forestry hose, suction hose), hydrant flusher kits, hose couplings, nozzles, and ancillary equipment such as fog nozzles and hydrant gate valves. Scope includes both one-time equipment purchases and multi-year supply contracts with inspection, repair, and maintenance services. Issuing bodies span city fire departments (Detroit, Atlanta), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Oconee County, Bergen County, Gwinnett County), and regional water resource departments. Detroit Fire Department and Hillsborough County each appear in multiple recent solicitations, indicating repeat procurement activity.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with solicitations from Michigan (Detroit), Florida (Hillsborough County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Atlanta, Oconee County), New Jersey (Bergen County), and California (Tuolumne County). The City of Detroit Fire Department issued RFP 546441 on July 2, 2026, requesting firefighting hose line inspection and repair services with proposals due July 30, 2026; the scope includes approximately 1,000 units annually of new, factory-coupled, wet-tested hose in diameters from 1.5 inches to 5 inches, all manufactured in the United States, meeting NFPA 1961 specifications with Detroit Thread couplings and minimum two-year warranties. Hillsborough County issued ITB 26-00281 on May 29, 2026, for firefighting hoses and accessories (booster hose, forestry hose, and suction hose totaling approximately 180 units) with bids due June 12, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $117,076.60 for one year. Bergen County, New Jersey posted a multiple-award catalog vendor RFP on February 9, 2026, for a 24-month indefinite quantity contract commencing June 5, 2026, covering comprehensive firefighting equipment and rescue tools including hoses, nozzles, SCBA systems, and related supplies available to New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance members.
