UNSPSC 49221519: Fencing sword or foil

A type of sword that is used in fencing competition.

UNSPSC 49221519 Fencing sword or foil (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's eight recent opportunities span golf course netting installation, perimeter and park fencing construction, temporary chain link fence panels, disaster recovery fencing repair, regional park development fencing components, general fencing installation and maintenance services, and a cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement—none of which concern fencing swords or foils as sporting or training equipment. The most substantial recent solicitations are construction-focused: Collier County's Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park Phase 2B project ($31 million, June 2026) and NEUF Perimeter Fence, Irrigation, and Landscaping project ($3.4 million, August 2026) both include fencing as components within larger site development scopes. Collier County has also posted dedicated fencing installation and repair services (ITB 26-8669, June 2026, $300,000 annual spend), Barrow County sought park field fencing (RFP2027-08, September 2026), and the City of Taylor requested golf course netting work (IFB DATE2621, September 2026). A FEMA-funded disaster fencing and gate repair contract (City of Bartow, August 2026) addresses emergency post-storm recovery. Sarasota County posted a quick quote for SONCO VERSA temporary chain link fence panels (June 2026). None of these represent procurement of sporting fencing equipment.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include counties (Collier, Sarasota, Barrow), cities (Taylor, Bartow), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Geographic activity centers on Florida (Collier County, Sarasota County, City of Bartow), with additional recent postings in Michigan (City of Taylor), Georgia (Barrow County), and multi-state regional cooperative frameworks. The code shows no substantive recent activity consistent with fencing swords or foils as purchased commodities; the tagging of construction fencing and related infrastructure work under a sporting-equipment commodity code reflects a taxonomy mismatch rather than an active market segment for the equipment the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for procurement purposes and verify the correct commodity classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
