UNSPSC 49171509: Gymnastic vaulting box

A rectangular-shaped frame made in wood that is folded in several layers for one of the gymnastic apparatuses. The most upper part has the leather or thick fabric laid down with the felt and others inside.

UNSPSC 49171509 Gymnastic vaulting box, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category within the broader fitness and exercise equipment procurement landscape that state and local governments are actively buying — though the recent solicitations tagged to this code show minimal actual vaulting-box activity and instead reflect a much wider range of gym and athletic equipment purchases. The code shows strong and consistent posting activity across state departments, county governments, cities, school districts, and corrections facilities, all acquiring comprehensive fitness installations rather than isolated vaulting apparatus. Texas leads recent activity with multiple postings from the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (exercise equipment for Giddings State Juvenile Correctional Facility, IFB BSD-808, due July 17, 2026) and the Texas Military Department (mini gym container outfitted with comprehensive strength and functional training equipment, IFB TMD26-CHE-0044142, due June 30, 2026), while Georgia shows strong concentration with Gwinnett County (treadmill and elliptical procurement, due June 9, 2026), Columbia County School District (weight room equipment across two high schools, sealed bids due March 31, 2026), and Trion City Schools (comprehensive weight room package including racks, benches, bumper plates, and suspension trainers, IFB due May 26, 2026). Additional recent opportunities span Illinois (Department of Military Affairs fitness equipment for North Riverside facility, proposals due May 5, 2026; Department of Human Services equipment and training materials for Alton Mental Health Center, quotes due June 3, 2026), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia Procurement Department prison multigym unit, IFB B2626759, due May 13, 2026; Philadelphia micro purchase of dumbbells, treadmills, and exercise bikes, due May 14, 2026), Connecticut (New Haven high/low ropes course design and build with staff training, RFP 2026RFPCNH361, due June 23, 2026), Missouri (Parkway School District climbing wall and high ropes course inspection and maintenance services, sealed bids due May 13, 2026), Maine (Department of Defense gym equipment and installation for Field Maintenance Shop #1, RFQ due May 14, 2026), Florida (Seminole County Schools sole-source fitness and training equipment from Firesled Fitness & Training, Inc.), Georgia (Albany State University athletic equipment and apparel, eRFQ due March 26, 2026), Oregon (Beaverton School District gymnasium bleachers via cooperative contract, notice of intent to award March 6, 2026, value $222,042), and the District of Columbia (stationary bikes restricted to SBE vendors, due March 3, 2026).

The actual work being solicited under this code spans far beyond vaulting boxes to encompass cardio equipment (treadmills, stationary bikes, rowing machines, ellipticals, climb mills), strength training systems (racks, benches, barbells, dumper plates, home gym weight machines), functional fitness tools (kettlebells, medicine balls, suspension trainers, agility cones, battle ropes), specialized apparatus (commercial inflatable water slides, gaga ball pits, hula hoops, plyo boxes), ropes course infrastructure (high and low challenge courses with ACCT-certified design and installation), and associated services including delivery, installation, preventive maintenance, repair, parts support, and staff training. Issuing bodies vary widely — state departments of military affairs, human services, and juvenile justice; county school districts and fire departments; city fire rescue departments and corrections facilities; and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell and KCDA. The San Antonio Fire Department (fitness equipment preventive maintenance and repair for 54 fire stations, IFB 6100019589, due June 12, 2026) and the City of Atlanta Fire Rescue Department (comprehensive multi-step sealed bid for cardio, strength, and accessory equipment with installation and maintenance, prequalification phase due June 30, 2026) both show repeat institutional demand for ongoing maintenance and repair services. Geographic concentration is evident in Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Florida, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Missouri, Maine, Oregon, and Washington State, along with federal-adjacent activity through Sourcewell and cooperative purchasing mechanisms spanning multiple jurisdictions and regions nationwide. The code shows no true concentration on gymnastic vaulting boxes specifically; the mismatch between the nominal code definition and the recent opportunities reflects state and local procurement systems tagging diverse fitness equipment acquisitions under a single commodity classification that does not distinguish among the equipment types actually being bought.
