UNSPSC 49201517: Inversion machine

An apparatus for stretching the body. Feet are placed on the foot rest and the head and the back are put on the table of the machine, and the ankles are tightened properly and the bodyis hung upside down.

UNSPSC 49201517 Inversion machine, a Commodity code, encompasses the purchase of commercial-grade and institutional fitness equipment — including cardio machines (treadmills, stationary bikes, stair climbers, rowing machines, ascent trainers), strength and free-weight systems (cable crossovers, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, functional trainers), and related accessories (benches, racks, mats, suspension trainers) — that state and local governments buy to equip employee fitness facilities, recreational spaces, and emergency-responder training environments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as a catch-all for multipurpose fitness equipment procurement, often bundled with installation and preventive maintenance services. The issuing bodies span state departments (Maine Military Bureau), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), city fire departments (Atlanta Fire Rescue), higher-education institutions (Jackson State University), and school districts (Trion City Schools, Georgia). Cooperative purchasing vehicles are active in this space: Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit service cooperative, issued a multi-jurisdictional RFP in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment that extends to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. Georgia leads with three separate procurements: Gwinnett County issued an IWQ for a single Stairmaster (due June 9, 2026), the City of Atlanta conducted a prequalification phase for a multi-step sealed bid process covering eighteen equipment groups with installation, maintenance, and parts support (prequalification due June 30, 2026, IFB to follow), and Trion City Schools issued an IFB for comprehensive weight room equipment including racks, benches, bars, plates, and suspension trainers (bid opening May 26, 2026, submission deadline June 1, 2026). Mississippi (Jackson State University, sealed bids for eight treadmills, five cross trainers, and related cardio equipment, due August 12, 2026) and Maine (State of Maine Military Bureau RFQ for nine line items of gym equipment and installation, due May 14, 2026) round out the geographic spread. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP (due June 16, 2026) spans Washington state law and includes Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in addition to numerous other jurisdictions nationwide. None of the recent opportunities specify set-asides, disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions, or incumbent-vendor preferences.
