UNSPSC 49161507: Baseball bases

UNSPSC 49161507 Baseball bases is a Commodity code that names a narrow product category, but state and local governments rarely solicit under it in isolation. Recent opportunities tagged with this code reflect a much broader scope of work — predominantly baseball and softball infrastructure, including batting cages, safety netting replacement, terrace seating construction, and athletic field equipment and supplies. The buying pattern shows that jurisdictions use this code as a catch-all for baseball facility upgrades and associated athletic goods rather than requesting baserunning equipment specifically. School districts and county parks departments are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations spanning IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types. A few opportunities also appear under cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple state member agencies, broadening the geographic reach of individual vendors.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas. Fulton County Schools in Georgia issued multiple iterations of an IFB for terrace seating at Chattahoochee High School (Solicitation 14627 and PE55101NONST2027000000197, due November 12, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited batting cage purchase and installation at Lenora Park (BL119-26, due August 28, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid conference August 19). The Board of Commissioners of Glynn County, Georgia solicited safety netting replacement at North Glynn Recreation Complex (IFB27-005, due September 16, 2026). In Texas, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) consolidated four expiring athletic contracts into a single IFB for equipment, supplies, software, and services (IFB2026137, due October 19, 2026), and Austin Independent School District requested proposals for athletic equipment and apparel across all campuses (27RFP024, due September 15, 2026). Sarasota County, Florida solicited commercial-grade softball pitching mats (2026QQ732, due June 17, 2026). A multistate cooperative procurement through the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA #027-E) sought athletic supplies and equipment bids on behalf of 31 state member agencies (due August 13, 2026). The code shows moderate but dispersed activity with no single jurisdiction dominating solicitation volume.
