UNSPSC 49121506: Tent repair kits

UNSPSC 49121506 Tent repair kits is a Commodity code that encompasses temporary tensile fabric structures, anchoring systems, and associated equipment purchased by state and local governments for operational and event support. Recent solicitations reveal that the code captures not repair kits alone but large-scale tent procurement, delivery, and installation — including aluminum-frame structures with high-performance PVC polyester fabric, industrial anchoring systems, and optional disassembly services. State and local buyers under this code include community college districts, state purchasing offices coordinating statewide agency needs, and county governments supporting emergency services and general operations. The work involves full-service tent rental and provisioning on both project-specific and standing-agreement bases, with vendors managing procurement, logistics, insurance compliance, and labor.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Rhode Island. Mt. San Antonio Community College District issued RFQ #2026-070 in July 2026 for a 25-meter by 30-meter tension fabric tent with aluminum framing, white PVC-coated fabric rated to -30C to +70C, industrial galvanized earth stakes, and wind-load engineering to 140 km/h, with proposals due July 6, 2026 and installation required by August 24, 2026. The State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases established Master Price Agreement 639 (MPA 639) for tent rentals and associated equipment across state agencies, municipalities, and higher-education institutions statewide, with vendor enrollment closing January 20, 2028 and MBE/WBE participation required; the agreement operates as an open-enrollment vendor list with pricing determined through mini-bids issued by user agencies on an as-needed basis. A third posting—Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's janitorial supplies ITB—does not align with the tent code's scope and appears mistagged; the county's actual tent-related procurement activity under this code is not supported by recent postings.
