UNSPSC 49141600: Surf and swim equipment and accessories

UNSPSC 49141600 Surf and swim equipment and accessories, a Class code, covers competitive swimwear, diving and pool-safety equipment, pool flooring and maintenance supplies, and related athletic gear that state and local governments procure for public recreation facilities, school athletic programs, and higher-education aquatic operations. Recent solicitations show school districts, colleges, and municipal recreation departments consolidating athletic equipment contracts to include swimwear, training gear, pool deck safety surfaces, and competitive diving apparatus—often bundled with uniforms, installation services, and technical support. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas, consolidated four expiring athletic and aquatic contracts into a single IFB for equipment, supplies, software, and related services due October 19, 2026; the solicitation explicitly replaces contracts for athletic materials, aquatic program equipment, uniforms, and supplies. Issuing bodies span independent school districts, municipal recreation departments, county parks authorities, state colleges, and universities, with repeat procurement activity centered on both competitive team support and public pool operations.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas, Utah, Georgia, and Wisconsin based on recent postings. Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, issued an RFB for removal and installation of non-slip pool flooring around swimming pool walking areas, with a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough on August 10, 2026, and bid due August 15, 2026; the scope covered approximately 3,259 square feet and included reinstallation of diving boards, handrails, and safety inspections. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee issued an RFB for competitive swimwear and training equipment for its NCAA Division I swimming and diving program with a July 23, 2026, response date. Henry County, Georgia, issued an RFQ for full-service age group competitive swim team operations at the Henry County Aquatic Center with bids due June 2, 2026, at fixed hourly rates of $20 to $60 per hour depending on lane allocation and contract term through two optional one-year renewals. The City of Philadelphia solicited quotes for a telescopic swimming pool pole under a micro purchase Requirements contract with a $45,000 total ceiling, though that procurement appears narrowly focused on a single equipment item rather than the broader swim and athletic equipment category the code nominally covers.
