UNSPSC 49211803: Orienteering equipment

UNSPSC 49211803 Orienteering equipment is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure athletic equipment, supplies, uniforms, and related services for school districts, municipal recreation departments, and other public entities. Recent opportunities under this code span fitness equipment maintenance and repair, athletic supplies across multiple sports disciplines, specialized challenge course construction, wrestling mats, and strength and conditioning equipment—reflecting a broad portfolio of equipment categories rather than orienteering-specific products. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts (Birdville ISD, Austin ISD, Harlingen CISD, Fulton County Schools), with additional activity from city parks and recreation departments (City of Tucson), universities (Texas A&M), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (AEPA, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Sourcewell). School districts account for the majority of visible recent activity, often bundling athletic supplies across multiple sports programs and campuses into single RFPs.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas (Austin ISD RFP 27RFP024 due September 15, 2026; Birdville ISD RFCSP 002-27 estimated at $867,443.31 annually; Harlingen CISD RFPs posted May 4, 2026) and Georgia (Fulton County Schools IFB 214-26 for wrestling mats due May 26, 2026), with secondary activity in Arizona, Connecticut, and multistate cooperative procurements. The City of Tucson issued RFP 270143 for fitness equipment maintenance and new equipment across Parks, Police, and Fire departments with response due October 15, 2026, including Section 3 HUD compliance and living wage requirements. The New Haven, Connecticut Parks Department solicited a high and low ropes challenge course through RFP 2026RFPCNH361 (due June 23, 2026) funded entirely by American Rescue Plan Act recovery funds with a $50,000 project budget. Cooperative purchasing vehicles including AEPA's multistate athletic supplies solicitation (#027-E, due August 13, 2026, covering 31 states) and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP #061626 (June 16, 2026) indicate expanding use of collaborative procurement frameworks to scale athletic and public-safety equipment purchasing across dozens of jurisdictions.
