UNSPSC 49161523: Flag football gear

UNSPSC 49161523 Flag football gear (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement primarily as a subset of broader athletic equipment and supplies solicitations, rather than as a standalone category. Recent opportunities show school districts bundling flag football gear within larger RFPs and IFBs that encompass athletic equipment, uniforms, apparel, and related services across all sports programs district-wide. The code does not appear to drive independent procurement activity; instead, vendors competing for athletic equipment contracts must be prepared to supply flag football gear as one line item among many. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, with independent school districts in Texas appearing in recent activity.

Independent school districts in Texas — Fort Bend ISD, Northside ISD (San Antonio), and Austin ISD — posted the most recent opportunities in the second and third quarters of 2026. Fort Bend ISD issued RFP 27011RA on October 11, 2026 (proposals due November 16, 2026) for athletics audio and visual equipment and related services; Northside ISD released IFB 2026137 on October 1, 2026 (bids due October 19, 2026) consolidating four expiring athletic equipment and supplies contracts; and Austin ISD posted RFP 27RFP024 on August 31, 2026 (proposals due September 15, 2026) for athletic equipment, supplies, apparel, uniforms, and related services across all district campuses. No recent opportunities target flag football gear in isolation or name it as a primary procurement focus. The code shows limited independent activity and should be pursued as a line-item offering within broader athletic-equipment portfolio responses to school district RFPs and IFBs.
