UNSPSC 49181606: Trapshooting equipment

UNSPSC 49181606 Trapshooting equipment, a Commodity code, captures law enforcement and athletic equipment procurement at the state and local level, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a much broader scope of law enforcement and sports equipment rather than trapshooting-specific items. State and local governments buy tactical and protective law enforcement gear, athletic apparel, sports equipment, and customization services under this code, as evidenced by cooperative purchasing vehicles and university athletics programs seeking blanket supply arrangements. Issuing bodies span multi-state law enforcement cooperatives, regional purchasing consortia serving school districts and public entities, and higher-education institutions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based government cooperative, represents the most active recent buyer, structuring procurement to serve thousands of governmental agencies, K–12 districts, higher education, tribal governments, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada through a single contracting framework.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and South, with Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and Texas-based Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative showing the most recent solicitation activity, joined by Georgia's University System. Representative opportunities include Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle for multiple jurisdictions; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid ATH2628 for Athletic Equipment & Supplies (due March 26, 2026, estimated two-year value $13,523,279.00); and Albany State University's eRFQ for Athletic Equipment, Apparel, and Customization Services (due March 26, 2026). All three opportunities use cooperative or framework models enabling ongoing purchases at negotiated rates rather than fixed-quantity awards, indicating state and local government preference for flexible supply arrangements in this commodity family.
