UNSPSC 49161608: Volleyballs

UNSPSC 49161608 Volleyballs, a Commodity code, covers volleyball equipment and supplies that state and local governments buy for athletic programs, recreational facilities, and school districts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring volleyballs as part of broader athletic equipment catalogs, integrated into court system installations, and bundled with apparel and accessories for intercollegiate and K-12 programs. School districts dominate this code's recent activity, alongside county recreation departments, university athletic programs, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives serving multi-state education networks.

The issuing-body mix spans independent school districts (Harlingen CISD, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD in Texas; Marion County Schools in Florida), county recreation departments (Sarasota County, Florida), state university systems (University of West Georgia, Albany State University in Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving education members across multiple states (AEPA #027-E Athletic Supplies and Equipment, a multi-state cooperative, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). Recent opportunities include Donna ISD's catalog bid for volleyball equipment and supplies (RFP 011326-886, due April 8, 2026); Los Fresnos CISD's Physical Education & Athletic Equipment, Supplies, and Apparel RFP #26-27-01 (due March 24, 2026); Sarasota County's quote request for four complete volleyball court systems at Siesta Beach (2026QQ738, due June 26, 2026); the City of Torrington, Connecticut's sealed bid for construction and installation of two sand beach volleyball courts at John Toro Sports Complex (VJT038052026, due May 20, 2026); and AEPA's multi-state cooperative procurement for athletic supplies and equipment (PE55964NONST2026000000041, due August 13, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple school districts), Florida (Marion County Schools and Sarasota County), Connecticut (Torrington), and Georgia (university system procurement), with multi-state reach through education cooperatives and the Sourcewell regional purchasing vehicle.
