UNSPSC 49161513: Field hockey sticks

UNSPSC 49161513 Field hockey sticks is a Commodity code, but state and local purchasing activity under this code shows minimal relevant recent solicitation. Three of the four most recently posted opportunities under this taxonomy are university athletic-department purchases of hockey equipment — two from University of Wisconsin system campuses (UW-Eau Claire and UW Stevens Point) requesting bids for men's and women's hockey equipment, skates, and sticks between June and July 2026. The UW-Eau Claire RFQ specifically names 42 CCM Custom Elite Sticks as line items within a broader equipment package due July 16, 2026. These are institutional procurement actions by higher-education athletic departments, not state departments or municipalities. A fourth opportunity (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026) is tagged under this code but appears unrelated to field hockey sticks and reflects cooperative purchasing framework activity for law enforcement use cases across multiple states.

The recent activity is concentrated in Wisconsin, where two university systems posted RFQs and sealed bids in June and July 2026. One additional opportunity from Escambia County Parks Department in Pensacola, Florida (ITB #PD 25-26.093, due July 29, 2026) concerns outdoor hockey dasher boards and rink infrastructure installation rather than field hockey sticks. The code shows no substantial state procurement activity, no municipal bids for hockey equipment at the community-recreation level, and no school-district solicitations for athletic inventory. Pursuit under this Commodity code appears limited to direct sales to university athletic departments on a case-by-case basis, with no pattern of repeat regional or statewide purchasing vehicles.
