UNSPSC 49161510: Football tackling dummies

UNSPSC 49161510 Football tackling dummies, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the nominal product scope. The code designation appears in cooperative purchasing agreements and school district solicitations for broad athletic equipment and supplies categories, but recent opportunities show no specific demand signals for tackling dummies as a standalone line item. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are acquiring football equipment and apparel through catalog discount bids, multi-sport athletic supply contracts, and equipment packages that bundle apparel, footwear, helmets, pads, and general football supplies without isolating tackling dummies as a distinct purchase category. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Harlingen CISD, DeSoto County Schools in Mississippi), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Sourcewell), university athletic departments (University of West Georgia, Albany State University), and county school boards (Marion County Schools, Florida). The mix leans heavily toward K-12 independent school districts in Texas and education cooperatives, with some university and county-level procurement.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Mississippi, Florida, and Georgia. Representative solicitations include Donna ISD's RFP 011326-879 (issued March 21, 2026, due April 8, 2026) for football equipment and supplies catalog bid covering apparel, cleats, helmets, pads, and general equipment for the 2026-2027 school year; Los Fresnos CISD's RFP #26-27-01 (issued February 18, 2026, due March 24, 2026) seeking an approved vendor list for physical education and athletic equipment, supplies, and apparel supporting thirteen athletic teams including football; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's RFP ATH2628 (issued April 21, 2026, due March 26, 2026) for athletic equipment and supplies under a catalog discount model with estimated two-year expenditures of $13.5 million across member organizations. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name tackling dummies as a required or preferred deliverable, and the code shows no standalone demand signal in current state and local procurement.
