UNSPSC 49221511: Sports equipment bags

UNSPSC 49221511 Sports equipment bags, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply of sports equipment bags and related soft goods for athletic programs, recreational facilities, and retail operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily as part of broader athletic equipment and supplies contracts rather than as standalone bag purchases. Recent solicitations show that bags appear as line items within comprehensive athletic procurement — golf course retail merchandise that includes golf bags alongside balls, clubs, and apparel; school district athletic equipment packages bundling bags with uniforms and gear; and municipal sports supplies agreements listing bags among baseball, basketball, volleyball, and other sports equipment. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Austin Independent School District), city parks and recreation departments (City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation), county government (Fulton County), municipal recreation services (City of Altamonte Springs), charter schools (Cirrus Academy Charter School), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state education agencies (Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies, representing 31 state member agencies). School districts and municipal recreation departments are the most active repeat buyers in recent postings.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with notices from Fulton County and the City of Atlanta, Trion City Schools, and Cirrus Academy Charter School in Georgia, and Austin Independent School District in Texas; the AEPA cooperative vehicle spans 31 states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation's pre-qualification and IFB for golf course retail merchandise (posted June 18, 2026, due July 23, 2026) specifying golf bags as accessories within a three-year contract serving four municipal golf courses with an annual retail budget of $500,000; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP024 for athletic equipment, supplies, apparel, uniforms, accessories, and related services across district athletic programs (posted August 31, 2026, due September 15, 2026); and the AEPA cooperative procurement AEPA #027-E for athletic supplies and equipment on behalf of 31 state education agencies (posted May 20, 2026, due August 13, 2026). Vendors competing in this space must typically meet compliance requirements including E-Verify registration, insurance documentation, business tax receipts, references demonstrating prior experience with similar scope, and bonds or financial assurances where specified by issuing bodies.
