UNSPSC 46191619: Fire water monitor

A type of device that is manufactured to liberally release the compressed extinguishing water at the hot spot as it is loaded onto the fire vehicle or outside fire hydrant.

UNSPSC 46191619 Fire water monitor is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal title suggests equipment for directing water in firefighting operations, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span fire protection equipment and services that diverge substantially from that scope—including fire hydrant parts (hose connections, pumper nozzles, operating nuts), firefighting hoses and suction hoses, fire hose inspection and repair, hydrant flusher kits, protective fire clothing and accessories, fire protection system inspections and repairs (pre-engineered extinguisher systems and sprinkler systems), emergency response vehicles, and water utility infrastructure parts. State and local issuing bodies include fire departments (Detroit, Tigerville in Greenville County South Carolina, Columbus Fire & EMS), county commissions (Hillsborough County Florida, Gwinnett County Georgia, Stephens County Board of Education Georgia), city procurement offices (Richardson Texas, Southlake Texas, Augusta Georgia, City of Detroit), and regional water authorities (Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the mismatch between the code name and the actual work being bought suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment that undermines predictive value for business development targeting this UNSPSC category.

Opportunities tagged under the code span the Southeast and South (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas) and include a Detroit Fire Department RFP for firefighting hose line supply (approx. 800 units annually, two-year term, RFP 546441 due July 30, 2026), Hillsborough County ITB 26-00281 for firefighting hoses and accessories (approx. 180 units, $117,076.60 one-year term, due June 12, 2026), Gwinnett County Informal Written Quotation for 100 fire hose units (50-foot, 1-inch, 250 psi, due May 19, 2026), and Hillsborough County ITQ 26-00301 for 27 hydrant flusher kits ($11,475 one-time purchase, due June 30, 2026). Recent activity also includes protective fire clothing contracts (Columbus Consolidated Government annual contract for structural coats, pants, helmets, boots for approximately 30 sets under RFB No. 27-0007, due October 14, 2026) and fire hydrant parts procurement (City of Richardson annual requirements contract for OEM components, $150,000 estimated annual value, due September 2, 2026). Given the code's poor alignment with actual procurement, verify commodity classification directly with the purchasing office before pursuing opportunities listed under UNSPSC 46191619.
