UNSPSC 49211900: Electrical strength exerciser

An exercise device that strengthens muscle strength through electrical signals. However, medical devices and cosmetic products are classified separately.

UNSPSC 49211900 Electrical strength exerciser is a Class code under which state and local governments procure commercial-grade fitness equipment—including treadmills, stationary bikes, rowing machines, strength machines, free weights, and related accessories—along with installation, preventive maintenance, and repair services for recreation centers, fire and police departments, correctional facilities, schools, and other public venues. Recent solicitations show a split between equipment-only buys (purchase and delivery of individual machines or equipment packages) and integrated service contracts that bundle new equipment with multi-year preventive maintenance, on-call repair, parts supply, and technician support. The issuing body mix spans city recreation and public safety departments (fire, police), county health and wellness centers, school districts, state correctional and military facilities, universities, and special districts, with repeat activity from municipal governments in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. The work reflects both planned fitness facility upgrades and ongoing maintenance of installed base across geographically dispersed locations.

Representative recent activity includes the City of Tucson's RFP 270143 (posted October 2, 2026, due October 15, 2026) for fitness equipment, preventive maintenance, and on-call repair across 40 Parks and Recreation, Police, and Fire locations—requiring quarterly or quarterly-plus maintenance schedules, multi-brand equipment support (Paramount, Precor, TRUE, Life Fitness, and others), and 15 percent minimum equipment discounts; the City of San Antonio's IFB 6100019589 (June 12, 2026) for bi-annual preventive maintenance and repair at 54 fire stations and related facilities; and Trion City Schools' IFB for a complete weight room equipment package including racks, benches, plates, and installation (bid opening May 26, 2026). Sole-source and proprietary procurements appear regularly—Hillsborough County's procurement of Precor equipment through FitRev at $127,977 (July 29, 2026 challenge deadline) and Georgia Tech's Balanced Body Pilates equipment purchase (September 10, 2026)—reflecting compatibility and standardization preferences within existing fitness infrastructure. Geographic concentration leans toward the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Southwest (Arizona, Texas), though activity spans the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), Northeast (Connecticut), and Pacific Northwest (Washington). Evaluation criteria typically emphasize price alongside qualifications, experience, method of approach, and ability to meet maintenance and parts-availability timelines; federal compliance (ARPA, prevailing wage, Buy America thresholds, Section 3 labor requirements) features prominently in larger municipal and state procurements, and living wage ordinances apply in some jurisdictions.
