UNSPSC 49161701: Javelins

UNSPSC 49161701 Javelins is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses track and field equipment and supplies procured by school districts for athletic programs, though the recent activity shows minimal direct javelin-specific procurement and instead reflects broader athletic equipment categories that may tangentially include throwing implements. The code appears in school district RFPs and IFBs consolidated with equipment for cross-country, soccer, track, strength and conditioning, and physical education. Issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and school systems; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Austin Independent School District, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas), Illinois School District (Mercer County), and Jenkins County Board of Education (Georgia) all posted athletic equipment solicitations in May and August 2026. A cooperative purchasing vehicle, the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA), issued a multistate athletic supplies and equipment bid (#027-E) covering up to 31 state member agencies in August 2026, indicating broader regional and national demand signaling through educational cooperatives.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Northside ISD (San Antonio) posted IFB 2026137 for athletic equipment, supplies, software, and related services with a due date of October 19, 2026, consolidating four expiring contracts and requiring all current vendors to respond to maintain business; Austin ISD posted RFP 27RFP024 (due September 15, 2026) for district-wide athletic equipment and apparel on an as-needed basis across Travis County and Austin City limits. Harlingen CISD posted multiple athletic equipment RFPs (due May 4, 2026) broken into cross-country, soccer, track and physical education supplies. Illinois School District in Jacksonville solicited aluminum track and field hurdles meeting NCAA, IAAF, and NFHS specifications (IFB 26444DHSISDISB52420, due May 19, 2026). Jenkins County Board of Education (Georgia) and Randolph County School System (Georgia) both issued construction or facility-focused solicitations for track infrastructure in May and June 2026. The AEPA cooperative vehicle (PE55964NONST2026000000041, due August 13, 2026) represents the broadest geographic reach, targeting 31 state agencies with vendors required to serve multiple jurisdictions.
