UNSPSC 49171600: Boxing equipment

UNSPSC 49171600 Boxing equipment is a Class code under which state and local governments procure athletic supplies, equipment, and apparel for schools, law enforcement agencies, and other public entities. Recent solicitations show that the code captures a broader athletic and protective-equipment category than the name alone suggests—including soccer equipment, general athletic supplies, and law enforcement gear—reflecting how jurisdictions tag multi-sport and protective-equipment purchases. Issuing bodies span state education cooperatives (the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies), independent school districts (Donna ISD in Texas), and regional law-enforcement consortiums (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties). The mix reflects both direct school-district procurement and cooperative purchasing vehicles that bundle demand across dozens of jurisdictions to establish multi-vendor framework agreements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Washington, with national reach through cooperative purchasing platforms. The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies issued a sealed-bid solicitation (PE55964NONST2026000000041, Athletic Supplies and Equipment, due August 13, 2026) on behalf of 31 state member agencies including Georgia, requiring vendors to serve all participating states through the Euna Procurement platform. Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative serving public entities nationwide) posted an RFP (#061626, Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026) covering Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington and other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada through its portal. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas issued a catalog-bid RFP (011326882, Soccer Equipment and Supplies, closed April 8, 2026) seeking multiple vendor awards for the 2026–2027 school year with renewal options. Cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate the recent pipeline, making the code relevant primarily to vendors capable of fulfilling multi-state or multi-jurisdiction awards and registering on state and regional e-procurement platforms.
