UNSPSC 49181610: Archery arm guards

UNSPSC 49181610 Archery arm guards is a Commodity code that encompasses protective gear and equipment components for archery and related sporting activities. State and local governments procure archery arm guards primarily through school districts and educational purchasing cooperatives as part of broader athletic supplies and equipment solicitations. The code appears in competitive bid and RFP processes alongside other sports equipment, uniforms, and protective gear where vendors submit catalog-based pricing or discount proposals off manufacturer lists. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, state educational purchasing agencies acting through cooperative vehicles, and law enforcement or athletic procurement offices bundling equipment into larger athletic and protective-gear contracts.

Recent activity shows archery arm guards tagged under broader athletic supplies solicitations rather than as standalone line items. The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) posted a sealed-bid RFP (#027-E Athletic Supplies and Equipment) on May 20, 2026, with a response deadline of August 13, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. ET, covering up to 31 state member agencies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle; Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas issued an RFP (011326-882) for Soccer Equipment and Supplies on March 21, 2026, due April 8, 2026, using a catalog-bid format with multiple vendor awards intended for the 2026-2027 school year. A Sourcewell RFP (#061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 deadline, may include protective gear components across Washington state and participating jurisdictions but does not explicitly identify archery-specific items. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Upper Midwest through cooperative purchasing vehicles, with Texas and multi-state cooperative participation evident in recent solicitations. The code shows modest recent activity, typically nested within larger athletic or law enforcement equipment procurements rather than awarded as a discrete product line.
