UNSPSC 49161522: Football kicking tees

UNSPSC 49161522 Football kicking tees (Commodity) shows minimal direct procurement activity under the code itself; the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this Commodity focus instead on broader athletic equipment, apparel, and supplies procurement across school districts, universities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. State and local buyers in this space procure football equipment as part of larger athletic-support contracts that bundle uniforms, practice gear, footwear, protective equipment, and field supplies. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Donna ISD, Harlingen CISD, Los Fresnos CISD in Texas; DeSoto County Schools in Mississippi), county school boards (Marion County Schools, Florida), state university systems (Albany State University, University of West Georgia), and cooperative purchasing networks (Sourcewell, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, ESC 7). The mix skews toward K–12 school districts and higher-education athletic departments establishing approved vendor lists and catalog-discount contracts to support multiple sports programs on an as-needed basis, with some cooperative vehicles aggregating demand across dozens of public entities.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Minnesota. Representative opportunities include Donna ISD's catalog-discount RFP for football equipment and supplies (April 8, 2026 response deadline), which seeks percentage discounts from current pricing for apparel, cleats, helmets, pads, and general football equipment for the 2026–2027 school year with intent to award multiple vendors; Los Fresnos CISD's RFP for physical education and athletic equipment, supplies, and apparel across 13 athletic teams (March 24, 2026 deadline), submitted electronically via the Euna Procurement Portal and structured as percentage-discount pricing from published catalogs; and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (June 16, 2026 deadline), a multi-state cooperative procurement spanning Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions. The Marion County Schools term contract for physical education supplies (January 14, 2026 deadline, since passed) specified 40 line items including footballs, basketballs, and field equipment on an as-needed basis to a central warehouse. Most awards go to multiple vendors to enable schools to select by item-level value, with pricing held firm for one year and delivery to district facilities or warehouses.
