UNSPSC 49181514: Billiard chalk

UNSPSC 49181514 Billiard chalk, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not procure billiard chalk; instead, they target law enforcement equipment, athletic equipment and apparel, and customization services for higher education athletics programs. State and local issuers—including cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), county governments, and higher education institutions—are not soliciting billiard chalk under this code in the recent market. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying opportunity records or that this Commodity code is rarely used for its nominal product line in state and local procurement.

The geographic activity captured under this code's recent opportunities spans Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative framework, Texas through Region 7's procurement network, and Georgia via Albany State University. Representative recent solicitations include Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (response deadline June 16, 2026), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative RFP ATH2628 for athletic equipment and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $13,523,279.00 (response deadline March 26, 2026), and Albany State University eRFQ 52100ERFQ0000016912026 for athletic apparel and customization services (response deadline March 26, 2026). Given the absence of actual billiard-chalk procurement signals, this code warrants review for accurate classification before allocating pursuit resources.
