UNSPSC 46191617: Fire hose washer

Equipment that saves human resources and time by automatically washing off the fire extinguishing hose attached with the impure substances as it is used in fire extinguishing activities.

UNSPSC 46191617 Fire hose washer (Commodity) encompasses the supply, inspection, repair, and delivery of fire hoses across multiple diameters and specifications to fire departments and related public safety agencies. State and local governments procure new, unused fire hoses meeting NFPA 1961 and NFPA 1962 standards, along with accessory equipment such as couplings, nozzles, hydrant flusher kits, and related maintenance services. The buying base spans city fire departments, county emergency services and water resources departments, and regional fire rescue agencies. Fire departments source both individual hose units (ranging from 25 to 100 feet in lengths and 1 to 6 inches in diameter) and comprehensive multi-year supply agreements covering attack hose, booster hose, suction hose, and forestry hose inventories. Municipalities also solicit hose inspection and repair services bundled with supply contracts. The issuing bodies include city offices of contracting (Detroit), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County, Oconee County), county emergency services departments, municipal fire rescue departments (Atlanta Fire Rescue Department), and county water resources authorities. Several jurisdictions have posted multiple opportunities under this code in the past five months, signaling recurring procurement activity.
