UNSPSC 49151502: Skis

UNSPSC 49151502 Skis is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reveal little alignment with skiing equipment; instead, the code appears in law enforcement, athletic equipment, and apparel procurement contexts where skis are not the primary commodity being bought. The mismatch suggests either tagging error or a very narrow application of this code within state and local procurement. Recent opportunities show athletic departments and regional purchasing cooperatives soliciting athletic equipment, apparel, and customization services through RFPs and RFQs, but these solicitations address a broad range of sports gear rather than skis specifically.

Activity appears across multiple issuing body types including higher education institutions (Albany State University), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and state-level cooperative procurement vehicles (Sourcewell, acting on behalf of Washington counties and other jurisdictions). Recent opportunities include Albany State University issuing an eRFQ for Athletic Equipment, Apparel, and Customization Services with a March 26, 2026 response deadline; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issuing an IFQ (Invitation for Request for Proposal) for Athletic Equipment & Supplies catalog discount bid (Bid ATH2628) with an estimated two-year value of $13,523,279.00 and a contract term from April 16, 2026 through April 16, 2028; and Sourcewell issuing RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating Washington counties and other public entities, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. Opportunities are concentrated in Washington, Georgia, and the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative service area, though Sourcewell's cooperative structure encompasses entities across the United States and Canada. The code shows limited recent activity and poor alignment with its nominal scope.
