UNSPSC 49211811: Ergometer

A machine that measures several forces that a human moves the muscle. The most representative is the device with the shape of a bicycle.

UNSPSC 49211811 Ergometer (Commodity) covers exercise equipment for fitness and athletic conditioning that state and local governments procure through school districts and higher education institutions. Recent solicitations show school districts buying ergometers and related fitness equipment as components of broader athletic supply contracts—Birdville Independent School District (BISD) in Texas solicited athletic equipment across 15 sports programs including fitness resources, and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District in Texas sought fitness and strength training equipment to support athletic operations. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County solicited power lifting equipment and supplies on a catalog discount basis. While ergometers appear in the scope of these broader athletics and PE supply procurements, no solicitation isolated ergometers as a standalone commodity, suggesting they are typically bundled with other fitness or training equipment rather than procured independently. School districts dominate the recent activity, often establishing approved vendor lists for multiple athletic and PE items on an as-needed basis with multiple awards to different vendors. Texas shows the strongest concentration of recent opportunities—BISD, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, and Harlingen CISD all issued RFPs or RFQs for athletic and PE supplies in April and May 2026—alongside activity in Florida (Marion County Schools, February 2026) and Georgia (Fulton County Schools, May 2026). A multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle through the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) solicited athletic supplies and equipment on behalf of 31 state member agencies with proposals due August 13, 2026, indicating broader regional demand.

Representative recent opportunities reflect the bundled nature of ergometer procurement. Birdville ISD issued RFCSP 002-27 for Athletic Equipment, Supplies and Related Services on July 1, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $867,443.31, covering athletic event services, uniforms, and general supplies across 31 campuses and 15 sports programs. Los Fresnos CISD issued RFP 26-27-01 on February 18, 2026, closing March 24, 2026, seeking physical education and athletic equipment, supplies, and apparel on an as-needed basis with awards anticipated by June 8, 2026 and contract effectiveness from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. Donna ISD issued separate catalog bid RFPs for Physical Education Supplies and Power Lifting Equipment, both closing April 8, 2026, intending multiple vendor awards. These procurements typically require vendors to submit percentage discounts from published price lists, provide comprehensive insurance and compliance documentation, submit Texas Ethics Commission filings and conflict-of-interest questionnaires, and demonstrate experience serving school districts or governmental entities with multiple references. The lack of isolated ergometer specifications in recent opportunities suggests that firms pursuing this code should position ergometer supply within broader athletic equipment and fitness supply capabilities rather than as a niche product line.
