UNSPSC 57070105 Personal protection equipment, power and water supply is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure respiratory protection systems, bunker gear, ballistic protective equipment, and first aid supplies for public safety personnel and general municipal operations. Recent solicitations show a mix of high-specification tactical and emergency-response gear—such as Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units meeting NFPA standards, ballistic helmets and plate carriers for fire departments, and bunker gear cleaning and maintenance services—alongside consumable first aid kits, safety eyewear, and operational supplies for routine public safety and municipal department use. Issuing bodies include county sheriffs' offices, fire rescue departments, cities, school districts, and state purchasing cooperatives. San Mateo County, Hillsborough County, and the City of Santa Monica appear as repeat buyers; the Pinellas County School Board and the City of Bartow have also posted recent opportunities in this code family.
