UNSPSC 49211610: Golf ball dispenser

An apparatus supplying golf balls on the tee or practice mat for golf swing practice.

UNSPSC 49211610 Golf ball dispenser is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of golf ball dispensing equipment and related golf course retail merchandise by state and local governments. State and local buyers under this code seek industry-standard golf retail goods including premium, mid-level, and economy golf balls; golf ball dispensing machines such as Range Servant bulk dispensers; ball collection equipment such as Easy Picker units; ball washers; and complementary accessories and apparel (gloves, tees, clubs, shoes, bags, towels, range finders, divot tools, logoed merchandise) for public golf courses and driving ranges. Issuing bodies include municipal parks and recreation departments, county recreation authorities, and school districts operating golf facilities. Orders are typically placed through competitive sealed bidding processes (IFB) or cooperative purchasing catalog agreements, with multiple vendors often awarded by product category to ensure supply adequacy. Contracts commonly span two to three years with renewal options, structure pricing as percentage discounts off catalog lists rather than fixed rates to allow cost adjustment for market fluctuations, and impose performance metrics including minimum 95 percent product availability and on-time delivery compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in the Northeast and Southeast. The City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation issued an IFB on June 18, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) for golf course retail merchandise across four municipal facilities with an annual budget of $500,000 and order frequency up to weekly. Bergen County, New Jersey has reissued cooperative catalog solicitations for golf range equipment and supplies multiple times within the review period—most recently on June 5, 2026 (due June 23, 2026)—seeking multiple vendors to supply dispensers, collection equipment, repair parts, and range balls under 24-month cooperative agreements. The City of St. Petersburg, Florida solicited one ADA-compliant SoloRider golf cart (April 17–28, 2026), a specialty mobility device for inclusive course access. Donna Independent School District in Texas issued a catalog bid for golf equipment and supplies (March 21–April 8, 2026) for the 2026-2027 school year with options to extend two additional years. The code shows material activity among municipal golf operators and county recreation departments pursuing multi-vendor supply arrangements, though one unrelated procurement—Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP—was incorrectly tagged to this code.
