UNSPSC 49221513: Player bench

A bench for players and the coaches in the stadium. It is sometimes set up to separate the field from stands.

UNSPSC 49221513 Player bench, a Commodity code, describes seating and bleacher systems that state and local governments procure for athletic facilities, gymnasiums, and outdoor fields. Recent solicitations show school districts and county education agencies purchasing bleacher installation, renovation, and maintenance services — including new metal or aluminum bleacher systems with motorized telescoping options, temporary bleachers for seasonal use, fixed auditorium seating, and inspection and maintenance contracts for existing systems. The mix of issuing bodies reflects K-12 school district dominance: Fulton County Schools, Cherokee County School District, Emanuel County Schools, Hancock County School District, and Grosse Ile Township Schools all posted bleacher procurements in the past six months, joined by a community college (Northwest Mississippi Community College) and a university athletic department (University of Texas at Austin). Secondary activity includes county governments (Harrison County Board of Supervisors, Lafayette County School District) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions statewide (TIPS USA Job Order Contract for Texas).

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Mississippi) and Midwest (Michigan), with scattered activity in Texas and broader multi-state cooperative opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include Fulton County Schools' IFB 146-27 for terrace seating at Chattahoochee High School Baseball Field (response due November 12, 2026), Emanuel County Schools' RFP for motorized telescoping gymnasium bleachers at Swainsboro Middle School (response due July 17, 2026), and Hancock County School District's sealed bid for gym bleachers at Hancock North Central Elementary including two new telescopic systems (response due June 23, 2026). TIPS USA posted a prospective-use Job Order Contract for statewide auditorium, stadium, and field seating and installation services across Texas (response due September 18, 2026). Renovation and new construction projects command higher engagement and complexity, with mandatory pre-bid meetings, site walks, engineered drawings, and performance bond requirements common; maintenance and inspection contracts draw annual recurring demand from districts managing existing systems.
