UNSPSC 49211800: Physical education classroom equipment

UNSPSC 49211800 Physical education classroom equipment is a Class code representing athletic and PE supplies, equipment, and furnishings that state and local governments procure for K–12 schools and public recreation facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts buying wrestling mats, strength and conditioning equipment, general PE supplies and small equipment for elementary and secondary programs, and multi-sport athletic supplies across all sports. City parks and recreation departments, police, and fire agencies are also sourcing fitness equipment and maintenance services under this code. The buying spans new equipment purchases, preventative maintenance contracts, on-call repair services for commercial fitness brands, and bulk supply agreements through cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Issuing bodies include independent school districts (primary users), county school systems, city parks and recreation departments, and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple member agencies. School districts in Texas, Maryland, Georgia, and Arizona dominate recent activity; the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) cooperative procurement for 31 state member agencies represents multi-state scope. Representative recent opportunities include Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP024 for athletic equipment, supplies, apparel, and uniforms across all campuses (due September 15, 2026); Birdville Independent School District's RFCSP 002-27 for athletic equipment and supplies across 31 campuses (estimated annual value $867,443.31, term through August 31, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals); Fulton County Schools' IFB 214-26 for wrestling mats in three sizes (due May 26, 2026); Montgomery County Public Schools' bid BPM057739 for PE supplies and equipment (due July 15, 2026); and the City of Tucson's RFP 270143 for fitness equipment, preventative maintenance, and repair services across Parks and Recreation, Police, and Fire departments (due October 15, 2026, with Section 3 HUD compliance and living wage requirements). Activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, with cooperative procurement vehicles expanding reach across multiple states.
