UNSPSC 49221514: Judging chair or stand

A location or structure from which referees, judges or umpires can monitor games.

UNSPSC 49221514 Judging chair or stand is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses athletic equipment, supplies, and related services for school districts, as well as law enforcement equipment procured through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas, issued an IFB in October 2026 consolidating four expiring athletic-equipment contracts—including athletic materials, installation and services; athletic equipment and supplies; aquatic program equipment, uniforms and supplies; and golf equipment, uniforms and related materials—into a single sealed-bid solicitation. The code sees activity from independent school districts as primary issuing bodies, with cooperative purchasing arrangements managed by state local government units such as Sourcewell extending procurement reach across multiple counties and public entities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with NISD's San Antonio procurement representing school district demand and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 (posted May 2026, due June 16, 2026) spanning Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, along with other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The Sourcewell cooperative vehicle demonstrates how a single law enforcement equipment solicitation aggregates purchasing power across thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. NISD's IFB 2026137 closed October 19, 2026, and required all current vendors to respond to maintain contracts, consolidating four separate athletic-supply agreements expiring between January and October 2027. No estimated contract values, term lengths, or set-aside designations appear in the available documentation.
