UNSPSC 49181505: Billiard balls

UNSPSC 49181505 Billiard balls is a Commodity code that encompasses recreational gaming equipment and accessories purchased by state and local governments. Recent activity shows state and local buyers acquiring not just balls but full pool table systems, including tables themselves, cue storage solutions, and accessory kits, often bundled with complementary gaming equipment such as air hockey tables, shuffleboard tables, and table tennis tables. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments conducting informal quote solicitations and state cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell establishing master agreements for law enforcement and recreational equipment available to broad networks of participating public entities. Single-source and equivalent-product specifications are common, with suppliers expected to provide delivery, installation, and assembly as part of quoted pricing, and to demonstrate prior experience with similar projects through references.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on September 10, 2026 with a September 17, 2026 due date for recreational game equipment including pool tables and accessories for two county parks, with Addendum #1 modifying pool table specifications and requiring bidder acknowledgment.
