UNSPSC 46191620: Smoke exhaust fan

Equipment that releases the smoke or toxic gas generated when the fire fighters are unable to make the entry with the smoke or toxic gas in the building or basement with the fire breaking out.

UNSPSC 46191620 Smoke exhaust fan is a Commodity code that encompasses exhaust fan equipment and replacement services state and local governments buy for facility ventilation, odor control, and air quality management. Recent solicitations show work ranging from single equipment purchases—such as a Pennsylvania micro-purchase for three oscillating fans—to full system replacements with design, engineering, and installation. The mix of issuing bodies includes municipal water districts, city maintenance departments, county facilities, state correctional institutions, state transportation agencies, and county emergency management divisions. Scope varies from simple product procurement to comprehensive system replacement involving dampers, ducting, motorized components, electrical integration, and compliance with fire and building codes.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in California, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, and Georgia, with federal funds (EMPG Program, Build America Buy America Act compliance) increasingly present. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden's August 2026 IFB for replacement of five roof-mounted exhaust fans and four make-up air dampers at its Public Works Maintenance Facility (bids due August 11, 2026, subject to 25% SBE and 6.25% MWBE set-asides on state-funded portions); the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's IFB C5613486-D for smoke control system replacement at Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, with engineering and integration work valued at $298,704 and bids due October 13, 2026, offering 5% small-business and up to 5% DVBE incentives; and Caltrans District 32's IFB 32A0725 for removal and replacement of an exhaust evacuation system at an equipment shop in San Leandro, Alameda County, with a $484,000 bid cap, 25% Small Business participation goal with 5% bid preference, and 3% mandatory DVBE participation (bids due August 25, 2026). West Basin Municipal Water District's RFP for on-call pump and motor repair services across recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County (due October 1, 2026, $1,000,000 not-to-exceed over two years) shows demand for responsive maintenance capability within one to twelve hours depending on business-hours status, including warranty and documentation requirements.
