UNSPSC 49201512: Jump ropes

UNSPSC 49201512 Jump ropes (Commodity) shows significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this code are purchasing comprehensive fitness facility equipment — treadmills, exercise bikes, stairclimbers, weight racks, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, benches, and related strength and cardio machines — along with installation, setup, preventive maintenance, onsite repair, and parts support. The issuing bodies span higher-education institutions (Jackson State University), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), municipal fire departments (City of Atlanta on behalf of Atlanta Fire Rescue Department), state military facilities (State of Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management), school districts (Trion City Schools, Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell serving multiple participating jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond). No recent opportunities are actually soliciting jump ropes themselves.

Georgia and Mississippi dominate recent activity. Jackson State University issued an IFB for eight treadmills, five cross trainers, and multiple stationary bikes due August 12, 2026. Gwinnett County posted a brief RFQ for one Stairmaster with a June 9, 2026 deadline. The City of Atlanta issued a multi-step sealed bid process (prequalification due June 30, 2026, followed by IFB) for commercial-grade fitness equipment, installation, and full-service support across eighteen equipment groups at AFRD locations. The State of Maine issued an RFQ for nine line items including treadmills, benches, dumbbells, and racks with delivery by July 17, 2026. Trion City Schools in Georgia solicited a comprehensive weight room package including Rogers Athletic racks, bumper plates, suspension trainers, and full installation via IFB with bid opening May 26, 2026. Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) reaches thousands of participating governmental agencies, higher education, K-12 districts, and nonprofits. The code appears to carry residual or erroneous tagging rather than reflecting the fitness-equipment procurement now dominating the tagged opportunities.
