UNSPSC 49181603: Archery arrows

UNSPSC 49181603 Archery arrows (Commodity) shows minimal direct recent activity; the code itself does not appear in current state and local solicitations. The three recent opportunities tagged under this UNSPSC — an Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) cooperative for athletic supplies and equipment, a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP, and a Donna Independent School District soccer equipment catalog bid — focus on broad athletic and law enforcement procurement rather than archery arrows specifically. Archery arrows, when procured by school districts and state agencies, typically fall within broader athletic equipment and supplies categories rather than as standalone line items, and current market activity concentrates on general sports equipment bundles, apparel, and protective gear where archery is not the primary focus.

The issuing bodies active in athletic and equipment procurement include state education departments through cooperative purchasing vehicles like AEPA (31 states), regional cooperative units like Sourcewell (Washington state and participating U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions), and individual school districts such as Donna ISD in Texas. Geographic spread spans the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest through Sourcewell, the Southeast and broader multistate footprint through AEPA, and isolated districts in Texas. Representative opportunities include AEPA #027-E Athletic Supplies and Equipment (sealed bid due August 13, 2026), Sourcewell RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment (RFP due June 16, 2026), and Donna ISD RFP 011326-882 Soccer Equipment and Supplies (RFP due April 8, 2026). Vendors pursuing archery arrow sales should monitor athletic equipment cooperative purchasing vehicles and school district athletic procurement channels rather than expect direct line-item solicitations under this code.
