UNSPSC 49211830: Side step tester

A type of device that measures the agility that promptly moves the body.

UNSPSC 49211830 Side step tester (Commodity) encompasses fitness equipment maintenance, repair, and supply services that state and local governments procure for recreation, public safety, and educational facilities. Recent opportunities show mixed scope: the City of Tucson's RFP 270143 (posted October 2, 2026, due October 15) solicits preventative maintenance and on-call repair for multi-brand commercial fitness equipment across Parks and Recreation, Police, and Fire departments, while school districts and cooperatives tag athletic supplies, wrestling mats, and strength-conditioning equipment under related codes that overlap this commodity space. The actual buying at this code sits primarily in commercial fitness equipment service delivery—quarterly or semi-annual preventative maintenance, parts supply, warranty work, and emergency repair labor—rather than side step testers in isolation. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Tucson), school districts (Austin ISD, Birdville ISD, Harlingen CISD, Fulton County Schools), a state university system (Texas A&M University), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, AEPA, Sourcewell). School districts and cooperatives appear most active in this space, with multiple back-to-back opportunities posted May through October 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Tucson, Austin, North Richland Hills, Harlingen), with secondary activity in Georgia (Fulton County Schools), Connecticut (City of New Haven), and multi-state cooperative vehicles (AEPA serving 31 states, Sourcewell serving Pacific Northwest and national participant networks). The Tucson RFP represents the most granular fitness-equipment-specific opportunity, requiring contractors to manage preventative maintenance contracts at 40 facilities, accept $2 million Commercial General Liability and statutory Workers' Compensation insurance, meet HUD Section 3 compliance (25 percent Section 3 labor hours), and deliver one-year warranties on all work and parts. Contract term runs one year with four optional one-year renewals. Texas A&M University's ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5008 (posted May 20, due May 20) solicited Woodway Treadmills specifically but details remain behind the AggieBid portal. Fulton County Schools' IFB 214-26 (posted May 8, due May 26) procured three sizes of wrestling mats rather than side step testers, illustrating tag misalignment between code assignment and actual product delivery.
