UNSPSC 49141607: Parasailing equipment

UNSPSC 49141607 Parasailing equipment is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this designation do not reflect parasailing equipment procurement. Instead, the code shows activity in competitive swimming, aquatic programs, and athletic equipment — primarily swimwear, diving and swimming program supplies, pool maintenance equipment, and sports training gear across school districts, universities, and county parks departments. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026137 consolidating four expiring athletic and aquatic equipment contracts; University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee issued RFB 2027UWMIL01382 for competitive swimwear and training equipment for its NCAA Division I swimming and diving program; and the City of Philadelphia issued RFQ B2727391 for a telescopic swimming pool pole under a micro-purchase Requirements contract with a $45,000 ceiling. The code mismatch suggests that UNSPSC 49141607 may be a miscategorization or fallback code within state and local procurement systems for aquatic and athletic equipment that does not fit a narrower category.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Minnesota. Henry County, Georgia posted RFQ #26-38 twice (May 5, 2026, due June 2) to procure full-service competitive swim team operations at its Aquatic Center with fixed hourly rates of $20–$60 per lane hour depending on lane count. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and participating public entities nationwide for law enforcement equipment, which appears unrelated to the code's aquatic focus. The geographic spread and issuing-body mix — spanning school districts, universities, county parks and recreation, cities, and cooperative purchasing platforms — reflects fragmented demand across multiple jurisdiction types. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity relative to the volume typically expected under active UNSPSC categories; business development professionals should verify whether state and local buyers in their target markets use this code for aquatic and athletic equipment procurement or whether opportunities in this space are tagged under alternative commodity codes.
