UNSPSC 49221502: Sport goals

UNSPSC 49221502 Sport goals is a Commodity code that encompasses goal systems and related field infrastructure for athletic facilities. State and local governments are procuring under this code for complete synthetic turf field replacement projects, athletic complex renovations, and multipurpose field installations that include goal system components as part of integrated site work. Henry County, Georgia's Richard Craig Park Athletic Complex Renovation under RFP 27-21 (proposals due November 11, 2026) exemplifies current activity: the County is soliciting a turnkey contractor to install new backstops, foul poles, goal systems, and overhead safety netting across eight baseball and softball fields, along with site grading, drainage, sod installation, dugout roofs, and ADA accessibility improvements. Similarly, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued ITB BL128-26 (proposals due October 7, 2026) for on-demand demolition and installation of synthetic turf and goal systems across eighteen multipurpose, baseball, and softball fields on a multi-year contract. The issuing-body mix reflects primarily county parks and recreation departments, with some school district participation. County parks authorities in Georgia and Florida dominate the recent activity, driven by aging field infrastructure and demand for tournament-quality facilities.

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (Henry County, Gwinnett County, Liberty County, Trion City Schools) and Florida (Marion County, Sarasota County, City of Orlando), with secondary activity in Texas (City of Fort Worth Parks and Recreation, Austin Independent School District, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, Northside Independent School District). Gwinnett County is a repeat buyer, issuing separate solicitations for synthetic turf and goal system installation (BL128-26, ITB, October 2026) and turf replacement at Harbins Park (BL083-26, ITB, June 2026). Henry County issued RFP 27-21 for the Richard Craig Park complex with an 11% DBE goal and local-vendor privilege (five-percent matching), reflecting growing preference programs. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 26RFP101526 (proposals due October 15, 2026) for turf and athletic surfacing solutions to establish a contracting vehicle for participating entities across multiple jurisdictions, indicating emerging demand for cooperative procurement frameworks in this space.
