UNSPSC 92101901: Search and rescue teams

UNSPSC 92101901 Search and rescue teams (Commodity) describes security and protective personnel services, though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a mix of detention facility equipment procurement, security staffing for warming centers, and law enforcement traffic control — a scope that diverges significantly from the code's nominal meaning. The opportunities reflect purchasing by county departments of social services, detention facilities, and public works operations, typically solicited through RFP, ITB, or proposal-based vehicles. Collin County's September 2026 full-body scanner RFP for its Adult Detention Facility represents the largest single procurement identified, budgeted at $242,000 for hardware, installation, training, and first-year support; that contract is categorically a capital equipment and services acquisition rather than personnel-based search and rescue. Rockland County's August 2026 RFP for security guard services at its Warming Center aligns more directly with protective staffing but remains modest in scope and budget detail.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Collin County (Texas) posted its detention-facility scanner system RFP in September 2026 with a response deadline of September 17, 2026, and anticipated contract award in November 2026; the solicitation included mandatory pre-submission conferences in late August and optional demonstrations in October. DeKalb County (Georgia) posted a three-year multiyear ITB for law enforcement traffic control services in June 2026 with a June 29, 2026 bid deadline, targeting hazardous-environment work-zone protection for water and wastewater operations and construction crews on public roadways. Rockland County (New York) posted its Warming Center security-staffing RFP in August 2026 with a September 3, 2026 response date but provided limited scope, staffing, or valuation detail. The code shows limited recent state and local activity overall, and the opportunities posted do not cluster around a unified procurement category, suggesting the code may not be the primary taxonomy vehicle for these jurisdictions' actual buying patterns.
