UNSPSC 49221520: Athletic tool stand

A stand where the tools used in various track and field competitions are stored. It includes the mobile stand and box that place shot put, discus, javelin, hammer and others.

UNSPSC 49221520 Athletic tool stand is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy, but recent state and local procurement under this specific code shows minimal targeted activity. The most recent opportunities recorded under this code reflect a much broader scope of athletic equipment, supplies, and services procurement rather than specialized athletic tool stands or storage racks alone. School districts, county recreation departments, and university athletic programs are sourcing comprehensive athletic equipment packages—fitness machines, weight room systems, field infrastructure, apparel, and general supplies—through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and catalog-style procurements. The Commodity code 49221520 appears to have been applied to opportunities that encompass stands, racks, storage solutions, and related athletic infrastructure as components of larger athletic equipment procurements, rather than as standalone line items. This suggests either broad categorization at the purchasing office level or code mapping that rolls individual components into higher-level groupings.

Issuing bodies pursuing athletic equipment and supplies—the parent category within which athletic tool stands operate—include independent school districts (Birdville ISD, Harlingen CISD, Donna ISD, Trion City Schools, and Los Fresnos CISD in Texas; Randolph County Schools in Georgia), county recreation departments (Sarasota County, Florida), municipal fire departments (City of Atlanta Fire Rescue), and state/university athletic programs (Maine Military Bureau, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Albany State University). School districts dominate the market, with repeated multi-sport RFPs targeting football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, track and field, and strength-and-conditioning equipment. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas (Harlingen, Donna, Los Fresnos, Birdville districts), with secondary activity in Georgia, Florida, and Maine. A representative recent opportunity is Birdville ISD's RFCSP 002-27 (April 1, 2026), seeking athletic equipment and supplies across 31 campuses serving 24,300 students, with an estimated annual contract value of $867,443.31 and response due July 1, 2026. Another is Trion City Schools' IFB for comprehensive weight room equipment including Rogers Athletic racks, benches, dumbbells, kettlebells, and medicine balls, released April 24, 2026 with bids due May 26, 2026. Tolleson Union High School District's cooperative procurement through the SAVE consortium (IFB #27-10-31, February 12, 2026) listed 880+ line items of athletic supplies across 23 Arizona school districts with estimated annual usage of $4,102,000 and a March 5, 2026 submission deadline. These opportunities typically award to multiple vendors on a catalog discount or lowest-responsive-responsible-bidder basis, with contract terms of one to five years.
