UNSPSC 49131503: Fishing reels

UNSPSC 49131503 Fishing reels is a Commodity code that captures marine-equipment purchases by state and local governments, specifically outboard motors and related marine-patrol equipment. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect law enforcement and public-safety agencies procuring motorized marine equipment — outboard motors for county marine-patrol operations and, more broadly, law enforcement equipment that includes marine components. The issuing bodies span county governments and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles; Chatham County, Georgia and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative representing multiple Washington state counties and jurisdictions nationwide) are the primary recent buyers.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with Chatham County, Georgia posting a competitive bid (ITB) in March 2026 for two new Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol, due May 4, 2026, and Sourcewell issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) #061626 in May 2026 on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, due June 16, 2026. The Sourcewell opportunity is a broad cooperative framework for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada, though it does not specify budget values or award amounts. The Chatham County procurement is a direct, narrowly scoped acquisition with no set-asides or incumbent vendors identified.
