UNSPSC 46191616: Helicopter fire extinguishing water tank

A water container which is attached on the lower part of the helicopter for the purpose of using in the fire extinguishing work.

UNSPSC 46191616 Helicopter fire extinguishing water tank (Commodity) encompasses specialized polypropylene and metal water and foam tank assemblies designed for fire apparatus, including fabrication, repair, replacement, and related component services. State and local governments procure these under this code rarely and narrowly—recent activity centers on direct replacement parts for existing fire apparatus fleets, sole-source acquisitions tied to specific vehicle platforms, and associated tank-system maintenance and repair. Issuing bodies are primarily county fire rescue departments and municipal fire agencies operating specialized aerial equipment; school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts do not appear in recent solicitations. Geographic activity is sparse and scattered; the single relevant recent opportunity comes from Brevard County, Florida.

Brevard County Board of County Commissioners issued a sole-source procurement (Solicitation 4841110, posted November 12, 2025, due November 17, 2025) for United Plastics Fabricating Inc. to supply UPF brand polypropylene water and foam tank assemblies as direct, non-interchangeable replacement components for Brevard County Fire Rescue fire apparatus, valued at $11,000. The procurement reflects the narrow, equipment-specific nature of this code—tanks are application-engineered to particular vehicle platforms and cannot be substituted with alternatives. The code shows minimal recent state and local activity; most opportunities in the source database tagged to fire protection involve fire extinguisher services, suppression systems, and fire alarm inspection—distinct commodity codes with substantially higher procurement volume and more diverse issuing-body participation.
