UNSPSC 46191626: Fire suppression tank

In the event of an electric vehicle fire, a water tank type product is used to extinguish the fire by immersing the vehicle in water to cool the battery.

UNSPSC 46191626 Fire suppression tank is a Commodity code encompassing the testing, inspection, maintenance, repair, and emergency service of fire suppression systems across state and local facilities — including wet sprinkler systems, clean agent suppression systems, kitchen hood suppression systems, portable fire extinguishers, and specialized halon-replacement systems. State and local governments procure these services primarily through cities, counties, school districts, universities, and special-purpose authorities to maintain continuous operational compliance with NFPA standards and local fire codes. The City of New Haven, Connecticut and Sacramento County are among the repeat buyers visible in recent solicitations, with procurement activity spanning both routine preventive maintenance contracts and specialized system transitions or renovations. Issuing bodies consistently require NFPA standards certification, 24/7 emergency response capability with guaranteed response times ranging from 30 minutes to two hours, comprehensive liability insurance (typically $1 million to $3 million general liability), and compliance with prevailing wage requirements where applicable. Many jurisdictions impose local vendor preferences, disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation goals, or small business set-asides, and several require surety bonds, E-Verify affidavits, and security background clearances for on-site work at sensitive facilities such as correctional centers or airports.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, California, Texas, and Wisconsin.
