UNSPSC 49161526: Soccer training aids

UNSPSC 49161526 Soccer training aids is a Commodity code covering specialized soccer equipment and accessories that state and local governments procure for school athletic programs, recreation departments, and university athletics. Recent solicitations show purchasing focused on soccer-specific gear including balls, goals, shin guards, apparel, uniforms, and related training equipment, typically acquired through catalog-discount bids, multi-award RFPs, or quick-quote processes rather than fixed-price contracts. State and local issuing bodies span independent school districts (Donna ISD, Harlingen CISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Marion County Schools), university systems (Albany State University, University of West Georgia), municipal parks and recreation departments (Greenville County Parks, City of Pembroke Pines), and multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles like the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, and Sourcewell. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, followed by county recreation authorities and higher education institutions.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Donna ISD, Harlingen CISD, Los Fresnos CISD), Florida (Marion County Schools, City of Pembroke Pines), South Carolina (Greenville County), and Georgia (Albany State University, University of West Georgia), with multi-state cooperative procurement extending to 31 state member agencies through AEPA and nationwide through Sourcewell and Region 7. Representative recent opportunities include Donna ISD's RFP 011326-882 for soccer equipment and supplies with an April 8, 2026 response deadline on a catalog-discount basis for the 2026–2027 school year; Los Fresnos CISD's RFP 26-27-01 for physical education and athletic equipment spanning soccer along with 12 other sports, due March 24, 2026; the City of Pembroke Pines' Quick Quote solicitation (2026QQ005) for four sizes of Alumagoal soccer goals due March 5, 2026; and AEPA's cooperative purchasing bid 027-E for athletic supplies and equipment across 31 state agencies due August 13, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog-discount contract ATH2628 estimated $13.523 million in anticipated expenditures across member organizations over a two-year term.
