UNSPSC 49211607: Divot fixers

UNSPSC 49211607 Divot fixers, a Commodity code, encompasses golf course maintenance and golf retail merchandise items that state and local governments procure for municipal golf operations, school district athletic programs, and university athletics. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring divot tools and repair equipment as part of broader golf retail merchandise catalogs, including golf balls, clubs, apparel, footwear, and accessories—with divot tools appearing as a line item in multi-category procurement packages rather than as standalone acquisitions. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal parks and recreation departments, school districts, universities, and cooperative purchasing consortia. The City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation is a standout repeat buyer, managing four municipal golf courses and treating divot tools as a core retail inventory item within a $500,000 annual retail merchandise budget. School districts in Texas (Harlingen Consolidated ISD, Donna ISD) and Georgia state universities (Albany State University, University of West Georgia) are also active, though their procurement emphasis tends toward athletic equipment and apparel for instructional and intercollegiate programs.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest. The City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice (PE66062NONST2026000000427) released June 18, 2026, with an IFB response deadline of July 23, 2026, represents the most concrete current opportunity; the solicitation explicitly names divot tools among industry-standard golf retail goods required across four municipal facilities, with multiple vendors awarded by product category and performance metrics including 95 percent product availability and on-time delivery. Donna ISD (RFP011326880, due April 8, 2026) and Harlingen CISD (AGST0426, due March 24, 2026) both issued golf equipment and supplies catalog bids for the 2026–2027 school year, though neither itemizes divot tools specifically in available summaries. University procurement through Albany State University (eRFQ 52100ERFQ0000016912026, due March 26, 2026) and University of West Georgia (eRFP 55400ERFP0000016442026, due March 20, 2026) focuses on athletic apparel and equipment rather than golf course operations. Regional purchasing cooperatives (Sourcewell in Minnesota and the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas) have issued broader law enforcement equipment and athletic equipment RFPs that do not directly align with divot-fixer procurement, suggesting the code sees limited direct activity outside municipal golf operations and school golf programs.
