UNSPSC 49130000: Fishing and hunting equipment

UNSPSC 49130000 Fishing and hunting equipment is a Family code that spans sporting goods and recreational supplies for outdoor pursuits, though state and local procurement activity under this code centers primarily on athletic and recreational facility equipment rather than traditional hunting or fishing gear. Recent solicitations name golf course supplies, athletic equipment for schools and districts, fitness machines, ropes courses, and aquatic facility operations—a portfolio that reflects how municipalities and school districts classify recreational infrastructure and consumables under this taxonomy.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Birdville Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Paw Paw Public Schools in Michigan, Utica Community Schools in Michigan), city and county parks and recreation departments (City of Fort Worth, City of Dallas, City of New Haven, City of Olathe Kansas, City of Tucson, City of Tampa, Sarasota County, Henry County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), state-supported living centers and correctional facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Kentucky Department of Corrections), and community college athletic programs (Mt. San Antonio College, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point). Repeat buyers across the recent-opportunities block include Northside Independent School District (golf equipment and athletic supplies consolidated into a single IFB), the City of Fort Worth (golf course supplies RFQ), and Kentucky Department of Corrections (multiple exercise equipment solicitations for inmate and staff facilities). School districts emerge as the most active segment, consolidating athletic equipment and supplies across multiple sports and grade levels into district-wide master contracts.

Geographic spread covers Texas (Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Tucson), Florida (Tampa, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, Henry County), Michigan (Paw Paw, Utica), Kentucky (Lexington), Kansas (Olathe), Connecticut (New Haven), California (Mt. San Antonio College, Tustin), Missouri (Parkway School District), New Hampshire, and Georgia, with Texas and Florida showing the densest recent activity. Representative current opportunities include the City of Fort Worth RFQ 260288 for golf course supplies (flagsticks, putting cups, hole-cutting equipment, bunker rakes, clubhouse support items) due October 20, 2026 with five-year supplier experience requirement and SBE preference; Northside Independent School District IFB2026137 consolidating four expiring athletic contracts (athletic materials, equipment, supplies, aquatic program equipment) with bids due October 19, 2026; Parkway School District competitive bid 26132 for three-year climbing wall and high ropes course inspection, maintenance, and certification services due May 13, 2026; and Commonwealth of Kentucky RFB 758 2700000322 for inmate and staff exercise equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, stair climbers, recumbent bikes) at correctional facilities due August 7, 2026 with Kentucky resident preference and five-year warranty requirement. The code also captures specialized procurements such as Dallas Area Rapid Transit IFB 2099282 for fitness equipment maintenance across nine transit facilities and City of Olathe RFP 260087 for exclusive seasonal use and operations of two girls softball complexes, indicating scope diversity within recreational and athletic procurement that extends beyond traditional equipment into facility management and service contracts.
