UNSPSC 49141505: Masks or fins or snorkels

UNSPSC 49141505 Masks or fins or snorkels (Commodity) comprises specialized breathing and visibility apparatus for water rescue, recreational diving, and tactical diving operations. State and local governments procure this equipment primarily through fire departments, sheriff's offices, and county emergency services to support water rescue teams, harbor patrols, and hazardous materials response units. Recent solicitations show demand for full-face masks with communication capability, dual-lens designs, and brand-specific models (OTS Guardian, Ocean Reef, Scuba Pro) alongside matched fin sets and regulator systems. The issuing bodies include county fire and emergency services departments (Orange County Sheriff-Coroner, Sarasota County Fire Department, Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Services, City of Fort Worth Fire Department), state cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell representing multiple Washington and Oregon jurisdictions, State of New Jersey), and county purchasing departments managing multi-year pre-qualified vendor lists. School districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts do not appear in recent activity; the code is driven by public safety and law enforcement procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Sarasota County, Palm Beach County), California (Orange County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Chatham County), the Pacific Northwest via Washington state cooperative vehicles, New Jersey (statewide law enforcement contracts), and Texas (Fort Worth). Representative recent opportunities include Sarasota County's Quick Quote RFQ (due May 22, 2026) for seven units of OTS Guardian full-face masks, Apeks RK3-HD fins, and associated regulators for water rescue operations; Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's Invitation for Bid IFB0602995803 (due March 13, 2026) for 71 line items of diving equipment maintenance and purchase serving Harbor Patrol and Hazardous Device Squad; Fort Worth's Request for Quote RFQt (due March 20, 2026) for bi-annual maintenance of Scuba Pro regulators and annual service of full-face pieces; and Palm Beach County's long-term pre-qualified vendor list (RPQ) for water rescue and dive equipment with an anticipated contract value of $3,600,000 through May 6, 2029. The State of New Jersey's statewide law enforcement procurement (T0106) includes marine and scuba equipment as one of ten product categories available to cooperating state and local agencies. Delivery is typically F.O.B. destination with 30-day windows, and contracts often permit annual renewals with price-adjustment provisions tied to documented cost increases.
