UNSPSC 49181612: Archery backstops

UNSPSC 49181612 Archery backstops is a Commodity code covering specialized safety equipment and protective barriers for archery ranges and training facilities purchased by state and local education and recreational agencies. The code sees limited recent activity, with the archery backstops category appearing within broader athletic supplies and equipment solicitations issued by state purchasing cooperatives and school districts. When state and local governments procure under this code, they are typically sourcing components of comprehensive athletic equipment packages that include archery safety infrastructure alongside general sports gear, uniforms, and protective equipment for school-based physical education and recreational programs.

The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) issued a cooperative procurement (AEPA #027-E Athletic Supplies and Equipment, sealed bid due August 13, 2026) on behalf of 31 state member agencies, including Georgia, with responses submitted through Euna Procurement and public bid opening scheduled for August 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET in St. Louis, Missouri. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas issued a separate RFP (RFP 011326-882) for soccer equipment and supplies with a due date of April 8, 2026, reflecting the broader school district appetite for multi-vendor athletic procurement. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026), though this opportunity sits outside the archery backstops scope and does not represent relevant activity under the code. Geographic activity centers on Texas school districts and multi-state education purchasing cooperatives; the code shows no recent standalone archery equipment solicitations or dedicated range-safety procurement.
