UNSPSC 49211806: Physical education equipment storage

UNSPSC 49211806 Physical education equipment storage is a Commodity code that captures storage systems, racks, carts, bins, and shelving solutions specifically designed for PE classes and athletic programs. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily independent school districts establishing vendor lists for comprehensive athletic and PE supply chains, though the code also appears in broader fitness equipment and facility installation projects at city recreation departments, fire rescue agencies, and higher education institutions. The work being solicited spans from dedicated storage solutions (lockers, racks, mobile carts) to integrated facility outfitting that bundles storage with equipment and installation—Birdville Independent School District in North Richland Hills, Texas, issued an RFCSP on July 1, 2026, for athletic equipment, supplies, and related services across 31 campuses serving 24,300 students, with an estimated annual value of $867,443.31 and a contract term through August 31, 2031; the solicitation explicitly covers storage racks and equipment organization alongside uniforms, sports gear, and athletic trainer services. Storage commonly features in multi-sport RFPs where school districts use catalog-bid procurement to establish as-needed vendor lists—Donna Independent School District in Texas issued parallel RFPs in March 2026 for athletic equipment across ten sport-specific and PE categories (baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, track and field, wrestling, golf, tennis, softball, and general PE supplies), all with April 8, 2026 deadlines, each requiring discount-from-catalog pricing and F.O.B. Destination delivery.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia independent school districts alongside select state and municipal projects. Trion City Schools in Georgia issued an IFB on April 24, 2026 for comprehensive weight room equipment including racks, benches, dumbbells, and strength bands with delivery to Trion by June 1, 2026. Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, posted RFP #26-27-01 on February 18, 2026 for PE and athletic equipment, supplies, and apparel with a March 24 deadline, seeking vendors on an as-needed basis to serve 13 athletic teams and support programs through August 31, 2027. The City of Atlanta on behalf of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department conducted a multi-step sealed bid process with a prequalification phase due June 30, 2026 for commercial-grade fitness equipment and service at AFRD locations, including storage racks and accessories alongside cardio and functional training equipment. The State of Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management issued an RFQ on April 29, 2026 for gym equipment and installation at Field Maintenance Shop #1 in Saco with a May 14 deadline. Sarasota County in Florida posted a quote request on June 9, 2026 for four volleyball court systems at Siesta Beach, which included sand-anchored aluminum posts with removable pole pads and corrosion-resistant hardware, reflecting the code's overlap with outdoor recreation facility infrastructure. School district procurement dominates the code, with most awards structured as multiple-vendor catalog-bid contracts where pricing remains firm for the school year and employees purchase on an as-needed basis without volume guarantees to any single vendor.
