UNSPSC 49131500: Fishing tackle

UNSPSC 49131500 Fishing tackle is a Class code, but the recent state and local activity tagged under it does not reflect fishing tackle procurement. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, to establish a master contract for law enforcement equipment — a scope plainly unrelated to fishing tackle. The solicitation targets multiple Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and is open to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Proposals closed June 16, 2026.

This code shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope of fishing tackle products. The single recent opportunity on record appears to reflect a tagging error rather than actual procurement activity under the code. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are actively sourcing fishing tackle through separate, correctly tagged UNSPSC classifications, or whether the code itself is rarely used for state and local government purchases. The mismatch between the code's name and the law enforcement equipment solicitation suggests that practitioners should cross-reference other relevant UNSPSC families and classes before committing resources to this category.
