UNSPSC 49181509: Table tennis balls

UNSPSC 49181509 Table tennis balls is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as part of bundled recreational and sports supplies purchases rather than as standalone line items. Recent solicitations show table tennis balls appearing within broader sports equipment and recreational-game procurements, such as the Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation IWQ for eighteen table tennis tables (alongside pool tables, air hockey tables, and shuffleboard equipment) and District of Columbia supplies for sports divisions, recreation programs, and roving leader activities. The code captures low-value consumables and equipment bundled into departmental supply contracts, typically managed by parks and recreation departments, schools, or community programs.

The District of Columbia dominates recent activity under this code, issuing at least seven separate FY26 supply solicitations between May and September 2026, all restricted to CBE and SBE vendors. Gwinnett County Department of Parks and Recreation in Georgia solicited table tennis tables as part of a broader recreational-game-equipment RFQ (IWQ 135353) due September 17, 2026, requesting eighteen units with full delivery and installation at two parks (Dacula and Lenora) in October 2026. The District of Columbia procurements carry compressed timelines—typically two to three business days between posting and response deadline—and carry set-asides exclusively to certified District of Columbia CBEs or SBEs, which serves as a hard eligibility gate. Geographic activity concentrates in the District of Columbia and Georgia; no recent opportunities in other states appear in the dataset. Vendors pursuing this code should expect frequent, bundled recreational and sports supply RFQs from recreation departments with short turnarounds and, in the District of Columbia market, mandatory local small-business certification.
