UNSPSC 49161708: Jumping and pole vaulting bar

A type of device that is used to support the cross pole in the high jump and pole vault as the column with the scale and has the base plate and cross pole length.

UNSPSC 49161708 Jumping and pole vaulting bar (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity predominantly for track and field equipment purchasing, though recent opportunities show the code tagged to a mix of facility construction, hurdles procurement, and broader athletic supply aggregations that do not cleanly align with the commodity's specific name. School districts and educational cooperatives dominate the issuing base, supplemented by individual higher education institutions and one municipal parks department. The most targeted recent procurement under this code is the Illinois School District's May 2026 solicitation for aluminum track hurdles with adjustable heights (30", 33", 36", 39", 42"), NCAA/IAAF/NFHS specification compliance, and June delivery to Jacksonville; that RFQ closed May 19, 2026. Broader athletic-equipment catalog bids from Donna Independent School District (due April 8, 2026), Harlingen Consolidated ISD (due May 4, 2026), and Los Fresnos Consolidated ISD (due March 24, 2026) all include track and field equipment lines that encompass hurdles, high jump, pole vault, and related field-event apparatus. The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) issued a cooperative bid on May 20, 2026 (due August 13, 2026) for athletic supplies and equipment across 31 state member agencies, including Georgia.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas school districts (Donna, Harlingen, Los Fresnos, Gatesville) and Georgia (Randolph-Clay High School's May 30 track facility RFP, Jenkins County Schools' June 4 construction management proposal, and University of West Georgia's Adidas apparel eRFP from February). A municipal track resurfacing opportunity from Gatesville ISD (due March 18, 2026) and field-marking services from the City of Richardson (due February 18, 2026) indicate secondary demand from municipal parks and recreation departments. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) issued a two-year catalog discount bid (ATH2628, due March 26, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $13.5 million across the contract period. No single issuing body appears repeatedly; activity is distributed across independent school districts, educational cooperatives, and occasional higher education institutions.
