UNSPSC 49151505: Snowboards

UNSPSC 49151505 Snowboards is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect snowboard procurement. Instead, the code shows activity centered on athletic equipment, apparel, and customization services across a range of public sector buyers. The work being solicited includes athletic apparel supply, sports equipment provisioning, and related customization services for intercollegiate athletics programs, as well as broader law enforcement equipment frameworks that may tangentially include protective gear. Issuing bodies include university systems, county cooperatives, and multi-state purchasing cooperative networks. State and local governments use cooperative purchasing vehicles heavily in this space — Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, and similar frameworks allow dozens of jurisdictions and public entities to leverage collective buying power for standardized equipment contracts.

Recent activity spans multiple states and cooperative jurisdictions. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued an Invitation for RFP (ATH2628) for athletic equipment and supplies with a response deadline of March 26, 2026, and a two-year contract term valued at $13,523,279.00 across member organizations. Albany State University in Georgia issued an electronic RFQ (52100ERFQ0000016912026) on March 6, 2026, with a March 26, 2026, deadline for athletic equipment, apparel, and customization services supporting its Division II athletics programs. Sourcewell issued an RFP (#061626) on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and thousands of participating public entities nationwide, with responses due June 16, 2026. The code shows little direct snowboard activity and appears misaligned with the actual procurement scope in recent opportunities.
