UNSPSC 49181600: Target games and equipment

UNSPSC 49181600 Target games and equipment is a Class code under which state and local governments procure athletic supplies, sports equipment, and related accessories for schools, law enforcement, and other public entities. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring soccer equipment and uniforms, athletic gear, shin guards, shoes, first aid supplies, and general athletic apparel, often through multi-vendor catalog-bid arrangements that allow employees flexibility in selecting vendors by item and price. The issuing bodies span independent school districts, state purchasing cooperatives, and county governments; the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, have emerged as significant intermediaries coordinating multi-jurisdictional procurement on behalf of dozens of participating member agencies across multiple states.

Activity under this code centers on cooperative purchasing vehicles coordinating demand across numerous jurisdictions. The AEPA solicitation for athletic supplies and equipment (PE55964NONST2026000000041), due August 13, 2026, represents a sealed-bid cooperative procurement serving 31 state member agencies and requiring vendors to support service delivery across up to 31 states. Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (#061626), due June 16, 2026, spans Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, with reach to thousands of governmental and nonprofit entities nationwide and in Canada. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas issued an RFP for soccer equipment and supplies (RFP011326882) due April 8, 2026, seeking multiple vendor awards with a contract term effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and optional extensions through 2029.
