UNSPSC 49161608: Volleyballs

UNSPSC 49161608 Volleyballs is a Commodity code that covers the supply of volleyball equipment and related sporting goods to state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy volleyballs and volleyball court systems — both as discrete equipment items bundled into broader athletic-supply contracts and as components within complete court installations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Austin ISD), county governments (Sarasota County), cities (Torrington, Connecticut), and cooperative purchasing consortiums representing multiple state education agencies. School districts are the dominant buyers, procuring volleyballs and related athletic equipment on a recurring basis as part of multi-sport supply agreements that consolidate expiring contracts and require incumbent vendors to rebid to maintain business.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and multistate cooperative vehicles. Northside Independent School District issued IFB2026137 for athletic equipment, supplies, software, and related services with a response deadline of October 19, 2026, consolidating four expiring contracts including athletic materials and aquatic program equipment. Austin Independent School District released RFP 27RFP024 for athletic equipment, supplies, apparel, uniforms, and related services on an as-needed basis across all campuses, with proposals due September 15, 2026. Sarasota County solicited quotes (RFQ 2026QQ738) for four complete volleyball court systems at Siesta Beach with specific net, post, and court-marking specifications, due June 26, 2026. The City of Torrington, Connecticut issued a sealed-bid IFB for construction of two sand beach volleyball courts at the John Toro Sports Complex with a May 20, 2026 deadline. The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies released a cooperative solicitation (AEPA #027-E) for athletic supplies and equipment on behalf of 31 state member agencies, including Georgia, with responses due August 13, 2026; vendors must be capable of serving all 31 states participating in the vehicle.
