UNSPSC 49181611: Archery target stands

UNSPSC 49181611 Archery target stands is a Commodity code that frames athletic and recreational equipment procurement, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect much broader scope. The AEPA #027-E Athletic Supplies and Equipment cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted May 20, 2026 with bids due August 13, 2026, treats archery stands as part of a wide range of athletic supplies and equipment. Similarly, the Sourcewell RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) is listed under this code but addresses law enforcement procurement, suggesting possible miscoding or a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and its actual use in recent opportunities. State and local buyers soliciting athletic supplies under this code include education cooperatives serving multiple states and special-purpose purchasing entities. The AEPA cooperative specifically represents 31 state member agencies coordinating purchases through a single sealed-bid process.

The recent activity shows concentration in education-sector cooperative purchasing. The AEPA #027-E vehicle spans up to 31 states with Georgia explicitly named as a participant, and submissions are coordinated through a centralized online platform (Euna Procurement) with a public bid opening in St. Louis, Missouri. The Sourcewell RFP is administered by a Minnesota local government unit but explicitly serves Participating Entities across the United States and Canada, including counties in Washington (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and numerous school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. However, the law enforcement equipment solicitation appears tangential to archery equipment procurement, and this code shows limited recent activity clearly aligned with its stated commodity name. Vendors pursuing actual archery stands and targets should monitor education cooperative RFPs more closely than the law enforcement vehicle, where relevance is unclear.
