UNSPSC 49141506: Wetsuits

UNSPSC 49141506 Wetsuits is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers specialized diving and water-rescue equipment including regulators, fins, masks, communication systems, and knives rather than traditional wetsuits alone. State and local buyers under this code are primarily public-safety agencies — fire departments and rescue operations — supplemented by state grant-funded programs and cooperative purchasing consortia that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The California Office of Emergency Services, Sarasota County Fire Department, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative serving multiple county governments and public entities across the United States and Canada) are active recent buyers, though the issuing-body mix remains narrow and concentrated in emergency-response and disaster-preparedness functions.

Geographic activity in recent months has centered on California and Florida, with a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle anchored in Minnesota. Representative opportunities include Sarasota County, Florida's Quick Quote procurement (2026QQ703) for rapid diver equipment due May 22, 2026, specifying named-model regulators, fins, masks, communication units, and dive knives with a $50,000 bid ceiling and 30-day delivery requirement; the State of California's brand-specific UASI grant-funded rescue scuba equipment solicitation (RFBIS27200235) with proposals due October 23, 2026; and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026), which establishes a framework agreement available to participating county governments and public entities across multiple states. The code shows limited recent activity overall, with opportunities appearing sporadically and driven primarily by grant funding and emergency-services budget cycles rather than steady procurement demand.
