UNSPSC 49211804: Team identification materials or markers

UNSPSC 49211804 Team identification materials or markers is a Commodity code encompassing athletic apparel, uniforms, and related customization services that state and local governments—predominantly independent school districts—procure to support physical education and intercollegiate athletics programs. Recent solicitations show districts and universities purchasing team jerseys, uniforms, apparel, and customization services alongside broader athletic equipment buys, though the code appears incidentally tagged in broader procurement scopes rather than as a standalone line item. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Texas districts (Birdville Independent School District, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, Donna Independent School District, Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District) accounting for the majority of recent activity; Georgia school districts (Fulton County Schools) and Florida school districts (Marion County School Board) also solicit under related codes. Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment and the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) cooperative for athletic supplies and equipment show multi-state participation, with AEPA #027-E athletic supplies reaching 31 state member agencies and Sourcewell RFP #061626 spanning Washington, Idaho, and other U.S. jurisdictions, though these broader cooperative vehicles mix team identification materials with general athletic supplies rather than isolating customization services.

Representative recent opportunities include Birdville Independent School District's RFCSP 002-27 for Athletic Equipment, Supplies and Related Services (due July 1, 2026, with estimated annual value $867,443.31) covering uniforms and team apparel across 31 campuses; Donna Independent School District's RFP #011326-868 for Physical Education Supplies (due April 8, 2026) and RFP #011326-881 for Power Lifting Equipment and Supplies (due April 8, 2026), both catalog discount bids with multiple-award intent; Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District's RFP #26-27-01 for Physical Education & Athletic Equipment, Supplies, and Apparel (due March 24, 2026, effective September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027) seeking apparel and uniforms on an as-needed basis; and Fulton County Schools' IFB No. 214-26 for wrestling mats (due May 26, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Florida, Connecticut, and multi-state cooperative vehicles. Catalog discount and as-needed purchasing models dominate, with most school districts awarding to multiple vendors and pricing held firm for one-year contract periods.
