UNSPSC 49201504: Rowing machines

UNSPSC 49201504 Rowing machines is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase rowing machines and related cardio equipment as components of fitness-center buildouts and equipment refreshes, typically bundled with other exercise machines such as treadmills, upright bikes, cross trainers, and stairclimbers. Recent solicitations show governments buying individual units or multi-unit packages with requirements for smart touchscreen consoles, adjustable resistance, transport wheels, delivery, installation, maintenance contracts, parts support, and operator instruction. When rowing machines appear in solicitations, they are rarely the sole item procured; instead they sit within broader fitness-equipment acquisitions by public universities, fire departments, school districts, and county facilities. Issuing bodies include higher-education institutions, city fire rescue departments, school districts, county governments, and state military facilities. Jackson State University, the City of Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, Trion City Schools, and the State of Maine Military Bureau have all posted gym-equipment solicitations in 2026 that name rowing machines or equivalent cardio assets as part of larger fitness-equipment scopes.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Mississippi, and Maine based on recent postings. Jackson State University issued a sealed-bid IFB in July 2026 for eight treadmills, five cross trainers, two upright bikes, four recumbent bikes, and two PowerMill climbers, with bids due August 12, 2026; the City of Atlanta Fire Rescue Department released a prequalification notice in June 2026 for multi-unit cardio procurement including rowing machines, treadmills, ascent trainers, and ancillary equipment with installation and service support, structured as a two-phase sealed-bid process with a Pre-Solicitation Conference to follow; Trion City Schools in Georgia posted an IFB in April 2026 for comprehensive weight-room equipment with a May 26, 2026 bid opening; Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited a single Stairmaster in June 2026; and the State of Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management posted an RFQ in April 2026 for gym equipment including two treadmills and installation at a military facility. Sourcewell, on behalf of participating Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment in May 2026, though that solicitation appears misclassified under this rowing-machine code and does not reflect rowing-machine demand.
