UNSPSC 49171604: Boxing bell

A bell that has the diameter of approximately 30cm that is secured on the height of the ring in boxing arena. The beginning and ending of each round is informed by pounding it with the metal hammer.

UNSPSC 49171604 Boxing bell is a Commodity code that nominally covers boxing training and competition equipment, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code show minimal activity directly aligned with boxing bells. Instead, the opportunities cluster around broader athletic equipment and supplies procurement—wrestling mats, weight room equipment, strength and conditioning supplies, and general athletic gear across multiple sports. School districts and county governments dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Trion City Schools (Georgia), Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) appearing as repeat buyers seeking comprehensive athletic equipment solutions on IFB and RFP vehicles. A state-level cooperative purchasing initiative—Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment—also carries this code tag but represents a clear category mismatch and appears unrelated to the boxing bell scope.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with Georgia and Texas driving recent solicitations. Fulton County Schools issued two separate IFB notices in May 2026 (Nos. 214-26 and PE55101NONST2026000000183, both due May 26, 2026) for wrestling mats in three sizes with taped connections and one-year warranties, firm-price contracts awarded to the lowest responsive bidder. Trion City Schools issued IFB PE55656NONST2026000000003 (due June 1, 2026) for complete weight room outfitting including racks, benches, bars, plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, suspension trainers, and installation. Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP024 (due September 15, 2026) sought athletic equipment, supplies, apparel, and uniforms across all district sports on an as-needed basis. The code shows little relevant recent opportunity volume and suggests potential category-coding drift; vendors in boxing equipment should monitor this code cautiously or seek clarification on tagging accuracy from issuers before pursuing.
