Sporting Goods Retailers

NAICS 459110 (Sporting Goods Retailers) encompasses procurement activities related to sporting, athletic, and recreational equipment across federal government agencies. This category includes equipment such as life preservers, fitness gear, aquatic slides, scoreboards, gym equipment, and related accessories. The solicitations and awards demonstrate a broad range of recreational and safety-oriented product acquisitions that support military, law enforcement, and government training facilities.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly feature firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from $1,300 to $746,000, with most contracts lasting between six to twelve months. Frequently awarded entities include Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., Switlik Parachute Company, and Noble Supply & Logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the most common funding agency, with other significant contracting entities including the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and Department of the Air Force. Many awards utilize total small business set-asides, reflecting a commitment to supporting smaller government contractors. Typical delivery locations include military bases, distribution centers, and federal training facilities across the United States.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on specific sporting and recreational equipment procurements. These include solicitations for aquatic slides at Travis Air Force Base, gym equipment for West Point Military Academy, softball scoreboards for Air Force Test Center, and various safety equipment like digital hearing protection and life preservers. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, utilize simplified acquisition procedures, and have relatively short performance periods. Agencies consistently seek equipment to support fitness, training, and safety functions across military, law enforcement, and government installations.
