UNSPSC 92101901: Search and rescue teams

UNSPSC 92101901 Search and rescue teams (Commodity) encompasses specialized operational support and equipment services that state and local governments procure for hazardous public-safety work. Recent solicitations show the code capturing two distinct work streams: law enforcement personnel providing temporary traffic control at worksites where water and utility crews operate on public roadways, and diving equipment maintenance and procurement supporting harbor patrol and hazardous device units. The issuing bodies are county government agencies — a water and management department using police personnel for roadway safety, and a sheriff's office sourcing and maintaining specialized diving gear for maritime and hazmat operations. Neither solicitation involves traditional search and rescue team deployment; the code's application here reflects state and local procurement tagging of public-safety labor and equipment that supports rescue-capable units rather than dedicated rescue operations.

Geographic activity is limited in the recent record to Georgia and California. DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB on June 2, 2026 for law enforcement temporary traffic control service under a three-year multiyear contract with a June 29, 2026 bid deadline. Orange County, California (Sheriff-Coroner) released an IFB on March 25, 2026 for maintenance and purchase of diving equipment — buoyancy compensators, regulators, masks, dive computers, wetsuits, air tanks, and related accessories plus annual maintenance — with a March 13, 2026 deadline and contract commencement July 2, 2026; Orange County offered a five percent preference deduction for certified Orange County Local Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises, with eight percent combined preference. The sparse recent activity under this Commodity code suggests it does not reflect a broad or consistent state and local procurement pattern.
