UNSPSC 49211803: Orienteering equipment

UNSPSC 49211803 Orienteering equipment, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct sourcing activity in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally addresses specialized navigation and outdoor-training products, but recent opportunities tagged under it predominantly solicit broad athletic equipment, supplies, and apparel—including basketballs, volleyballs, mats, fitness equipment, uniforms, and PE gear—rather than orienteering-specific items such as compasses, maps, or course-marking equipment. The mismatch between the code's scope and actual buying patterns suggests either tagging inconsistency or that orienteering equipment procurement occurs rarely or under different UNSPSC classifications within state and local systems.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities span independent school districts (Birdville ISD, Harlingen CISD, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Northside ISD in Texas; Fulton County Schools in Georgia; Marion County Schools in Florida), regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (AEPA's 31-state athletic supplies cooperative; Sourcewell for law enforcement equipment across multiple states), higher education (Albany State University, Texas A&M University), and municipal government (City of New Haven, Connecticut). School districts represent the dominant buyer segment. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut, with multistate reach through cooperative purchasing frameworks. Representative recent opportunities include Birdville ISD's RFCSP for athletic equipment, supplies, and services across 31 campuses with an estimated annual value of $867,443.31 and response date July 1, 2026; Fulton County Schools' IFB for wrestling mats (May 26, 2026 closing); Los Fresnos CISD's RFP for physical education and athletic equipment, supplies, and apparel (March 24, 2026); and AEPA's multistate cooperative bid for athletic supplies and equipment (August 13, 2026 closing). The code shows activity but exhibits weak alignment between nominal scope and documented procurement—buyers seeking general athletic equipment rather than orienteering navigation products.
