UNSPSC 49141507: Drysuits

UNSPSC 49141507 Drysuits is a Commodity code covering specialized protective suits for water operations, which state and local governments procure primarily for public-safety diving and water-rescue teams within fire departments, emergency services, and law enforcement agencies. Recent solicitations show that drysuit procurement is embedded within larger law enforcement equipment and water rescue equipment initiatives rather than as standalone commodity buys. The work typically involves supplying new drysuits alongside complementary diving apparatus—regulators, fins, masks, communication systems, knives, and ancillary rescue gear—and in some cases bundled maintenance and service agreements for existing dive equipment fleets. Issuing bodies include county fire and emergency services departments (notably Sarasota County, Florida and Gwinnett County, Georgia), municipal fire departments (City of Fort Worth), county-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit), and statewide law enforcement equipment contracts (State of New Jersey and State of California). County governments and municipal fire departments appear as repeat active buyers in the recent record.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Sarasota County, Palm Beach County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Chatham County), and Texas (City of Fort Worth, Klein ISD), with multi-jurisdiction and statewide opportunities extending reach into Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative) and New Jersey and California statewide programs. Representative recent opportunities include Sarasota County's Quick Quote solicitation 2026QQ703 for rapid diver equipment posted May 8, 2026 with response due May 22, 2026, which specified seven drysuits (XS Scuba water boots, size 12) alongside regulators, fins, masks, and communication units for water rescue operations; Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026, establishing a cooperative contracting vehicle for equipment across thousands of jurisdictions; and the City of Fort Worth RFQt 260151 posted March 16, 2026 with response due March 20, 2026, seeking bi-annual and annual maintenance services for existing scuba and full-face diving equipment fleets. Palm Beach County's pre-qualification RPQ68024031AU14 for water rescue and dive equipment, posted January 23, 2026, names a 60-month contract term with an anticipated value of $3,600,000 and establishes a pre-qualified vendor list for multiple specified equipment brands, with individual projects capped at $99,999.
