UNSPSC 49141507: Drysuits

UNSPSC 49141507 Drysuits is a Commodity code covering protective diving apparel and related water-rescue equipment procured by state and local governments for emergency response and public safety operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers under this code are primarily acquiring complete rapid-response diver kits—including regulators, fins, boots, full-face masks, communication units, and knives—rather than drysuits alone. The issuing bodies span state emergency management agencies, county fire departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Sarasota County, Florida's May 2026 Quick Quote for rapid diver equipment reflects the typical scope: seven complete diver setups with named-brand regulators, fins, masks, and communication gear totaling under $50,000, delivered within 30 days to the fire department's water-rescue unit. California's October 2026 brand-specific rescue scuba procurement and Sourcewell's statewide cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (covering multiple Washington counties and entities nationwide) indicate that water-rescue and public-safety diving is sourced through both direct municipal procurement and multi-jurisdictional cooperative agreements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with California and Washington state showing the most recent solicitation volume. The geographic spread also includes cooperative purchasing frameworks administered through Minnesota that serve participating entities across the United States and Canada. Sarasota County, Florida (posting in May 2026); the State of California (posting in October 2026); and Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington (posting in May 2026) represent the three most recent opportunities. Response deadlines have passed for the Sarasota County Quick Quote (May 22, 2026) and Sourcewell RFP (June 16, 2026), while California's brand-specific rescue scuba procurement closed on October 23, 2026. The code shows active recent procurement but limited volume—three named opportunities over a six-month window—suggesting selective, mission-driven buying by water-rescue and public-safety agencies rather than broad-based state and local demand.
