UNSPSC 49121513: Tent pin

A pin that is designed to secure the tent onto the ground, and this device has one end in sharp or thin shape for easy pike, and the other end is made to hook to wind with the pulling metal wire or rope.

UNSPSC 49121513 Tent pin is a Commodity code encompassing tent anchoring and fastening hardware, though recent state and local solicitations show that procurement activity under this code's nominal scope is minimal. The three recent opportunities posted between July and August 2026 involve tent structures themselves—aluminum frame canopies, tension fabric systems, and tent rental services—rather than individual pins or anchoring components. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase IFB for blue aluminum canopy frame tents (8" x 8") with a $43,000 maximum contract value and a September 7, 2026 response date; Mt. San Antonio Community College District released an RFQ for a large 25-meter by 30-meter tension fabric tent structure with delivery and installation by August 24, 2026; and the State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases opened enrollment for a statewide Master Price Agreement (MPA 639) for tent rentals and associated equipment, closing January 20, 2028. The issuing bodies span city procurement (Philadelphia), community college districts (Mt. San Antonio), and state-level purchasing vehicles (Rhode Island). MBE/WBE participation is required on the Rhode Island MPA; the Philadelphia solicitation includes an optional LGBTQ Applicant Data Form tied to Commonwealth diversity initiatives.

The recent activity appears concentrated in California and Rhode Island, with Philadelphia representing the only East Coast city procurement on record. The Mt. San Antonio RFQ is the most technically specific, calling for hard-pressed extruded structural aluminum alloy framing with galvanized double-head earth stakes engineered for wind speeds up to 140 km/h and temperatures from −30°C to +70°C. The Philadelphia and Mt. San Antonio opportunities suggest that tent assembly and installation services, rather than discrete fastening hardware, dominate current demand. The code shows little relevant activity at the Commodity level—no isolated purchases of tent pins or anchoring components appeared in the recent solicitations, suggesting that procurement officers are tagging completed tent systems under this code rather than sourcing component parts separately.
