UNSPSC 49161512: Lacrosse balls

UNSPSC 49161512 Lacrosse balls is a Commodity code that captures athletic equipment procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations under this code predominantly address broader athletic goods and law enforcement equipment rather than lacrosse balls specifically. State and local issuing bodies buying under this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles, state universities, and multi-jurisdictional law enforcement procurement initiatives. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based purchasing cooperative, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment in May 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, establishing a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued an RFP for Athletic Equipment & Supplies (Bid ATH2628) in April 2026 with an estimated two-year expenditure of $13,523,279.00 across member organizations. Albany State University, within the University System of Georgia, issued an eRFQ for Athletic Equipment, Apparel, and Customization Services in March 2026 with a March 26, 2026 response deadline to supply Division II intercollegiate athletics programs on an as-needed basis.

Recent activity under the code shows concentration in cooperative purchasing vehicles and higher education athletics procurement. Sourcewell operates the most expansive initiative, encompassing Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state along with jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, with an established track record of 106 similar contracts, operates across its member network with a two-year contract term running April 16, 2026 through April 16, 2028. Albany State University's procurement represents direct institutional demand for athletic goods and customization services. None of the recent solicitations disclose incumbent vendors, specific set-aside designations, or DBE restrictions, indicating open competition for qualified suppliers.
