UNSPSC 49171601: Boxing rings

UNSPSC 49171601 Boxing rings is a Commodity code that captures athletic and fitness equipment state and local governments are purchasing to outfit training facilities, gymnasiums, and athletic programs. Recent solicitations show the code is being applied broadly to competitive bid processes for athletic equipment and supplies—wrestling mats, weight room systems, boxing rings, apparel, and related facility equipment—rather than exclusively to boxing rings per the nominal code name. School districts, universities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations structured as RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs seeking both individual equipment items and comprehensive facility packages on firm-price and catalog-discount models.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with Texas school districts (Los Fresnos CISD, Donna ISD, Harlingen CISD) and Georgia school districts (Fulton County Schools, Trion City Schools) conducting the most recent competitive procurements. A Minnesota-based cooperative (Sourcewell), a Texas educational service cooperative (Region 7), and higher education institutions (Albany State University) are also active buyers under this code. Representative recent opportunities include Fulton County Schools' IFB 214-26 for wrestling mats (three mat sizes, taped connection, 1-5/8" thickness, due May 26, 2026); Trion City Schools' IFB for comprehensive weight room equipment including Rogers Athletic racks, benches, bars, bumper plates, suspension trainers, and full installation (due June 1, 2026); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's RFP ATH2628 for athletic equipment and supplies on a two-year catalog discount model (estimated expenditures $13.5 million, award effective April 16, 2026). Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) marks a broader cooperative model spanning multiple states and entity types but appears misclassified under this Commodity code.
