UNSPSC 49181508: Table tennis paddles

UNSPSC 49181508 Table tennis paddles, a Commodity code, covers recreational sporting equipment that state and local governments procure for parks, recreation centers, and youth programs. The District of Columbia dominates recent activity under this code, issuing multiple FY26 supply solicitations for sports and recreation divisions that include table tennis equipment as part of broader recreational-goods bundles. Gwinnett County Department of Parks and Recreation in Georgia has solicited recreational game equipment that explicitly encompasses eighteen table tennis tables alongside pool tables, air hockey, and shuffleboard equipment. Most District of Columbia solicitations are restricted to CBE and SBE vendors only, enforcing a hard set-aside that limits eligible bidders to District-certified small and minority-owned businesses. The scope of work ranges from individual paddles and table components to complete table-and-accessory packages bundled with installation and delivery services.

Activity under the code is concentrated in the District of Columbia and Georgia. The District issued at least eight separate FY26 supply solicitations between May and September 2026, all carrying CBE/SBE set-asides and compressed two- to three-day response windows. Gwinnett County's IWQ 135353 for recreational game equipment (RFQ, due September 17, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.) represents the most detailed recent posting: the county sought eighteen table tennis tables as part of a nine-line-item equipment package for Dacula Park and Lenora Park, with pricing to include shipping, delivery, assembly, and installation; addendum #1 modified pool table specifications, requiring bidder acknowledgment; vendors must demonstrate three prior references, carry $2 million aggregate general-liability coverage, and comply with Georgia E-Verify requirements. The District solicitations provide minimal scope detail in available documentation, though titles reference music supplies, sports division supplies, and roving leader supplies—all potential containers for table tennis equipment and accessories.
