UNSPSC 49211802: Hula hoops or hoop equipment

UNSPSC 49211802 Hula hoops or hoop equipment, a Commodity code, encompasses fitness and recreational equipment procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities reveal that the code captures a broader spectrum of gym and exercise equipment than the nominal category suggests. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing new commercial-grade fitness machines (treadmills, rowing machines, stationary bikes, weight equipment), preventative maintenance and repair services for multi-brand fitness equipment across municipal recreation centers, fire departments, police facilities, and educational institutions, and specialized recreational infrastructure including climbing walls and ropes courses. Issuing bodies include municipal park and recreation departments (City of Tucson, City of San Antonio, City of Philadelphia), fire departments (San Antonio Fire Department, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department), state juvenile corrections facilities (Texas Juvenile Justice Department), state university systems (Georgia Institute of Technology), county health departments (Hillsborough County), school districts (Parkway School District, Trion City Schools, High School in the Community in New Haven), and state military and human services agencies (Texas Military Department, Illinois Department of Human Services, State of Maine). A cooperative purchasing initiative (Sourcewell RFP #061626) also establishes law enforcement equipment contracts available to thousands of governmental agencies nationwide.

Recent opportunities reflect steady demand across Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Maine, with the most active volume in Texas and Georgia. Representative solicitations include the City of Tucson's RFP 270143 (due October 15, 2026) for fitness equipment, preventative maintenance, and repair services across Parks, Police, and Fire departments, requiring Section 3 HUD compliance and living wage compliance; the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's IFB BSD-808 (due July 17, 2026) for exercise equipment including hula hoops, free weights, rowing machines, and treadmills for Giddings State Juvenile Correctional Facility; Trion City Schools' IFB for comprehensive weight room equipment (bid opening May 26, 2026) with Rogers Athletic racks, benches, plates, and suspension trainers; Parkway School District's solicitation #26132 (due May 13, 2026) for three-year climbing wall and ropes course inspection and certification services; and the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement for fitness equipment purchase, installation, maintenance, and parts support across Atlanta Fire Rescue locations. Opportunities typically require detailed pricing, warranty coverage (ranging from 90 days to ten years depending on equipment type), technical certifications where applicable (ACCT accreditation for ropes courses), prevailing wage compliance in construction contexts, and proof of insurance with commercial general liability minimums of $1 million to $2 million.
