UNSPSC 49101706: Photo award

UNSPSC 49101706 Photo award is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally encompasses photo-related awards and recognition items, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations directly aligned with this category. Instead, state and local issuers are procuring athletic equipment, apparel, supplies, educational materials, promotional items, and awards through overlapping but distinct procurement vehicles — most significantly school districts issuing RFPs and ITBs for sports-specific gear, facility construction, and general award/trophy services. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual buying activity suggests the code sees little relevant recent activity or is used inconsistently by state and local procurement offices.

School districts dominate the issuer base, including Birdville Independent School District (Texas), Donna Independent School District (Texas), Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (Texas), Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas), Trion City Schools (Georgia), Randolph County School System (Georgia), and Fulton County Schools (Georgia), along with regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas) and a higher-education entity (Texas Southern University). Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut and include catalog discount bids for sport-specific supplies (football, baseball, softball, volleyball, tennis, golf, track and field, soccer, wrestling, cross country, power lifting), athletic equipment and apparel RFPs due in March through July 2026, weight room equipment installations (Trion City Schools, IFB due May 26, 2026), championship rings and pendants (Fulton County Schools RFQ due February 5, 2026), and educational activities and supplies cooperative bids (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, due July 30, 2026, estimated $40.677 billion over two years). Donna Independent School District issued 12 separate catalog discount bids for sport-specific equipment and cross country supplies all due April 8, 2026, and Birdville Independent School District issued an RFCSP for athletic equipment and related services with an estimated annual value of $867,443.31, due July 1, 2026. The code does not support recent direct procurement of photo awards or photo-related products at the state and local level.
