UNSPSC 49211806: Physical education equipment storage

UNSPSC 49211806 Physical education equipment storage, a Commodity code, covers the purchase, installation, and maintenance of fitness and athletic equipment for school districts, fire departments, counties, and municipalities. State and local governments solicit under this code for cardio machines, free weights, strength training equipment, storage systems, and related accessories to support athletic programs and fitness facilities. Recent solicitations blend equipment procurement with installation, assembly, preventive maintenance, onsite repair, and certified technician support. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with several independent school districts in Texas (Birdville ISD, Harlingen CISD) posting athletic equipment and supplies RFPs. Other buyers include the City of Atlanta (AFRD fitness equipment), Trion City Schools in Georgia, Randolph County School System in Georgia, Sarasota County, and the State of Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle (RFP #061626) established a law enforcement equipment framework available to thousands of public entities, though the law enforcement designation sits adjacent to the physical education equipment category.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Florida (Sarasota County volleyball court systems), Maine (Department of Defense gym equipment), and multi-state cooperative procurement through Sourcewell. Birdville ISD issued an RFCSP for athletic equipment, supplies, and related services on April 1, 2026, covering 15 sports programs across 31 campuses with an estimated annual value of $867,443.31 and a July 1, 2026 submission deadline through Ionwave e-bid. Trion City Schools released an IFB on April 24, 2026, for comprehensive weight room equipment including Rogers Athletic racks, benches, bumper plates, suspension trainers, and installation, with a May 26, 2026 bid opening and June 1, 2026 submission deadline. The City of Atlanta conducted a multi-step sealed bid process starting June 2, 2026, for commercial-grade fitness equipment purchase, installation, preventive maintenance, and parts support across AFRD locations, with a prequalification phase due June 30, 2026 and an IFB to follow. Harlingen CISD posted overlapping RFPs on May 4, 2026, for athletic strength and conditioning supplies, baseball and softball supplies, and cross country and track supplies, all due May 4, 2026, through their Ionwave portal.
