UNSPSC 49101708: Crowns

UNSPSC 49101708 Crowns is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure insignia, badges, pins, medals, and related decorative or commemorative items for public safety departments, school athletic programs, and ceremonial purposes. Recent solicitations show a strong focus on custom-branded insignia for law enforcement and fire departments, as well as medals and awards for school athletics and recognition programs. The code encompasses both the supply of finished products and design and customization services that vendors must provide to meet department-specific requirements.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal public safety departments, independent school districts, and school systems across multiple states. The City of Tucson's RFP for badges, pins, medals, and accessories for the Tucson Fire Department, Tucson Police Department, and Public Safety Communications Department (due September 17, 2025) exemplifies the municipal procurement pattern, with a pre-submittal meeting held September 3, 2025, and compliance requirements tied to American Rescue Plan Act funding, Section 3 employment benchmarks, and federal procurement guidelines. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with Birdville Independent School District in North Richland Hills, Texas, issuing an RFCSP for athletic equipment and supplies across 31 campuses with an estimated annual contract value of $867,443.31 (due July 1, 2026), Trion City Schools in Georgia issuing an IFB for weight room equipment (due June 1, 2026), and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas issuing an RFP for athletic supplies and equipment line items (due May 4, 2026). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, offers a cooperative purchasing vehicle (EDACT2628) for educational activities and supplies serving multiple school districts, with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years (due July 30, 2026).
