UNSPSC 49131600: Hunting products

UNSPSC 49131600 Hunting products is a Class code covering educational materials, manuals, and instructional content used by state and local wildlife agencies to deliver hunter education and certification programs. The scope encompasses printed student manuals, guides, and curriculum materials produced by specialized publishers and educational foundations, typically covering firearm safety, bowhunting techniques, muzzleloader operation, and hunter responsibility. State fish and wildlife departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring these materials on a recurring basis to support certified volunteer instructor networks and public education mandates.

Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game, Division of Fisheries and Wildlife posted a Notice of Intent on April 24, 2026 (response due May 21, 2026) to purchase copyrighted student manuals for its Hunter Education Program through proprietary-product contracts with Kalkomey Enterprises LLC and the National Bowhunter Education Foundation. The solicitation covers six titles—Today's Hunter in the Northeast, Today's Hunter, El Cazador De Hoy (Spanish translation), Today's Muzzleloader Hunter, Today's Bowhunter, and Today's 3 in 1 Responsibilities Guide—supporting approximately 250 certified volunteer instructors across Massachusetts with anticipated annual costs ranging from $200 to $9,000 per fiscal year. The Department intends to award a two-year Departmental Contract with renewal options. This is a Due Diligence Posting under Commonwealth procurement policy, not a competitive solicitation, and submissions must be made online through COMMBUYS with documentation demonstrating the vendor's ability to provide the same proprietary product or service.
