UNSPSC 49161622: Volleyball training tool and accessories

Items for skill building and play

UNSPSC 49161622 Volleyball training tool and accessories is a Commodity code covering nets, posts, padding, court markings, and related equipment that state and local governments procure for recreational and athletic programs. The code sees activity across independent school districts, county recreation departments, and multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Northside Independent School District (NISD) and Austin Independent School District soliciting athletic equipment and supplies on consolidated, requirements-based contracts that span volleyball alongside broader athletic inventories. Sarasota County has solicited complete volleyball court systems for public beaches. The AEPA cooperative purchasing vehicle (#027-E Athletic Supplies and Equipment) aggregates demand across 31 state member agencies, allowing vendors to qualify once and serve multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.

Recent opportunities reflect two procurement patterns: school district athletic-supplies contracts that bundle volleyball equipment with supplies and apparel for all sports (NISD IFB 2026137 posted October 1, 2026 with bids due October 19, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP024 posted August 31, 2026 with proposals due September 15, 2026), and specialized court-installation projects (Sarasota County RFQ 2026QQ738 posted June 9, 2026 for four volleyball court systems at Siesta Beach, specifying nets with 4-inch mesh, adjustable posts 8 feet 4 inches in height, custom logos, and saltwater-corrosion-resistant components, with quotes due June 26, 2026). The AEPA cooperative solicitation (PE55964NONST2026000000041) posted May 20, 2026 with sealed bids due August 13, 2026, spans up to 31 states including Georgia and establishes multi-state framework contracts. Geographic activity centers in Texas (San Antonio, Austin), Florida (Sarasota), and reaches nationwide through the AEPA cooperative.
