UNSPSC 49141608: Hydrocycle

A bicycle-like watercraft. Power is collected from the rider via a crank with pedals, as on a bicycle, and delivered to the water or the air via a propeller. Seating may be upright or recumbent, and multiple riders may be accommodated in tandem or side-by-side. Buoyancy is provided by two or more pontoons or a single surfboard, and some have hydrofoils that can lift the flotation devices out of the water

UNSPSC 49141608 Hydrocycle is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure competitive swimwear, swim team equipment, and related aquatic supplies under this code. Recent activity shows higher education institutions, county parks departments, and school districts buying competitive swim apparel, training gear, pool maintenance equipment, and contracted swim team operational services. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee solicited competitive swimwear and training equipment for its NCAA Division I Horizon League program; Henry County, Georgia solicited full-service age group competitive swim team management at its public aquatic center; and the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department quoted telescopic pool poles. Beyond swim-specific equipment, the code captures broader athletic and aquatic facility procurement when tagged to hydrocycle products—though several recent postings under this code (law enforcement equipment, SRT climbing gear, athletic supplies across multiple sports) appear misaligned with the hydrocycle scope.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin in recent months, with secondary activity in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. Henry County, Georgia appears twice in the opportunity set with swim-focused RFQs. Representative recent solicitations include the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's RFB for competitive swimwear and training equipment (due July 23, 2026), Henry County's RFQ #26-38 for age group competitive swim team annual contract services (due June 2, 2026), and Collier County, Florida's ITB for preventative maintenance, repairs, and replacement at nine county aquatic facilities (due April 6, 2026). Higher education institutions and county government appear as primary issuing bodies; school districts and special-purpose recreation entities also solicit under this code. Most solicitations are RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs with response windows of two to eight weeks. No large dollar values are disclosed in the source material for hydrocycle-specific opportunities.
