UNSPSC 49151502: Skis

UNSPSC 49151502 Skis is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses law enforcement and public-safety equipment procurement rather than winter sports equipment. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 seeking to establish a contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The code shows minimal recent activity tied to its nominal scope — the single posted opportunity reflects a broad law-enforcement equipment procurement that appears to have been tagged under this ski-equipment code without substantive alignment to the commodity's traditional product line. Issuing bodies under this code include state-level cooperative purchasing units (Sourcewell) and county governments participating in multi-jurisdiction cooperative frameworks, with the procurement structure designed to support purchasing across diverse public sector entity types.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest, with participating jurisdictions named in the Sourcewell RFP including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, alongside unnamed jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. The representative recent opportunity is Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows limited recent alignment to traditional ski procurement at the state and local level, suggesting either sparse activity under this commodity designation or tagging mismatches in publicly posted solicitations.
