UNSPSC 49181603: Archery arrows

UNSPSC 49181603 Archery arrows is a Commodity code that captures specialty sporting equipment used in archery programs, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code is minimal. State and local purchasing offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles occasionally tag archery-related buys with this code, typically as part of broader athletic supplies and equipment solicitations serving school districts, recreational departments, and law enforcement training programs. The work involves supplying arrows and related archery consumables to public sector entities across multiple jurisdictions through centralized procurement frameworks.

The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) posted a sealed-bid solicitation (PE55964NONST2026000000041) on May 20, 2026 for athletic supplies and equipment (AEPA #027-E) with a response deadline of August 13, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. ET, intended to serve 31 state member agencies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. While the solicitation does not isolate archery arrows as a line item, it represents the primary recent activity visible under this code and reflects procurement across multiple states including Georgia. However, the code shows limited substantive recent opportunity volume — archery arrows are a niche commodity within the broader athletic supplies category, and no dedicated, stand-alone archery-equipment solicitations appear in recent state and local posting activity. Business development professionals should expect sporadic, small-volume buys bundled with general athletic equipment RFQs and cooperative purchasing agreements rather than dedicated archery-specific opportunities.
