UNSPSC 49161613: Volleyball storage for balls or nets

UNSPSC 49161613 Volleyball storage for balls or nets is a Commodity code that sees modest state and local procurement activity anchored in school district athletic equipment purchases and public recreation facility development. State and local governments buy net systems, ball storage racks, equipment carts, and related volleyball accessories through this code when provisioning athletic programs and public beach volleyball courts. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (particularly in Texas), county park and recreation departments, and municipal recreation authorities. Recent solicitations show school districts bundling volleyball supplies into broader athletic equipment RFPs alongside other sports, while recreation authorities solicit complete court systems including nets, poles, padding, and court markings as discrete capital projects.

Donna Independent School District in Texas dominates recent activity, issuing multiple catalog-bid RFPs for volleyball equipment and supplies (RFP 011326-886, due April 8, 2026) alongside separate competitive procurements for football, baseball, soccer, track and field, and other sports equipment. Birdville Independent School District (North Richland Hills, Texas) is soliciting Athletic Equipment, Supplies and Related Services (RFCSP 002-27, due July 1, 2026) covering 15 sports programs including volleyball with an estimated annual contract value of $867,443.31. Sarasota County is requesting quotes for design, supply, and installation of four sand volleyball court systems at Siesta Beach (RFQ 2026QQ738, due June 26, 2026), each with nets, aluminum poles, padding, anchors, and custom-printed logos. The City of Torrington, Connecticut solicited sealed bids for construction of two sand beach volleyball courts with fencing and storm drainage at John Toro Sports Complex (VJT038052026, due May 20, 2026). Geographic spread centers on Texas school districts, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Wisconsin. The code shows steady but not concentrated demand; most opportunities are components of larger athletic procurement bundles rather than standalone volleyball-specific solicitations, signaling that volleyball storage and nets are purchased opportunistically within district-wide athletic equipment strategy rather than as a dedicated procurement focus.
