UNSPSC 49151504: Bindings

UNSPSC 49151504 Bindings is a Commodity code that covers binding and fastening supplies for documents, equipment, and apparel — though the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect a much broader scope: athletic equipment, apparel, and customization services for intercollegiate programs, and law enforcement equipment procurement frameworks. State and local governments actually buying under this code include county purchasing departments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Sourcewell), and higher-education institutions (Albany State University). The issuing bodies span a mix of direct county procurement, cooperative-purchasing vehicles established under state intergovernmental-purchasing laws, and university athletic departments seeking multi-year supply relationships.

Recent activity centers in Washington state, Georgia, and Minnesota through cooperative frameworks serving a broad national footprint. Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit) posted RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, establishing a contracting solution for thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued Invitation for Request for Proposal ATH2628 Athletic Equipment & Supplies with a response deadline of March 26, 2026 and an estimated two-year contract value of $13.5 million. Albany State University issued eRFQ 52100ERFQ0000016912026 for Athletic Equipment, Apparel, and Customization Services with a March 26, 2026 closing date. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (bindings) and the actual work being solicited (athletic gear, law enforcement equipment) suggests this code sees little activity directly aligned with binding products or services at the state and local level.
