UNSPSC 49221510: Sport caps

UNSPSC 49221510 Sport caps (Commodity) names headwear that state and local governments are procuring alongside broader apparel packages for school districts, emergency-response teams, and county personnel — typically combining caps or embroidered hats with fatigue uniforms, tactical gear, or school spirit merchandise. Recent solicitations show caps as one line item within multi-category RFQs and RFPs that emphasize customization (embroidery, screen printing, Velcro patches) and durability standards suited to operational or athletic use. The code sees activity from school districts, county purchasing departments, city fire and police agencies, and special districts across multiple states. Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD) in Texas has posted twice for spirit apparel and promotional items, Gallup-McKinley County School District in New Mexico solicited athletic uniforms and related material, Rockland County in New York sought reflective apparel and accessories with customization, and the City of Phoenix Fire Department requested embroidered headwear as part of tactical uniform bundles for Arizona Task Force 1 operations.
