UNSPSC 46191625: Fire extinguisher recharge system

The fire extinguisher's recharge system allows for the valve to be reassembled and installed back onto the cylinder. The cylinder is refilled with an extinguishing agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical, wet chemical, water, etc.) as specified in the recharging instructions. The extinguisher is re-pressurized until the gauge indicates a full charge.

UNSPSC 46191625 Fire extinguisher recharge system (Commodity) covers inspection, maintenance, recharging, hydrostatic testing, and repair services for portable fire extinguishers across state and local facilities, as well as the supply of replacement extinguishers and associated parts. State and local governments procuring under this code include county commissioners' offices, city fire departments, school districts, transit authorities, university facilities management, and special-purpose districts such as housing authorities and airport operators. Work is solicited through IFBs, ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs, with contracts structured as annual or multi-year terms on firm-fixed-price, unit-cost, or as-needed bases covering annual inspections, six-year internal maintenance, five-year and twelve-year hydrostatic testing cycles, emergency repairs, and inventory management across dozens to thousands of extinguishers per facility.
