UNSPSC 49221522 Athletic training dummy, a Commodity code, encompasses protective gear and training equipment that state and local governments procure to support athletic programs, physical education instruction, and law enforcement and emergency response training. Recent solicitations show school districts, universities, and cooperative purchasing consortiums sourcing athletic supplies and equipment—including protective gear, sport-specific items, apparel, and training apparatus—on both catalog discount and fixed-price bases. The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts and higher-education institutions across multiple states, along with cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell (Minnesota-based serving multi-state jurisdictions), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas), the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (Arizona), and county school systems. Procurement notice types include RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and electronic reverse auctions, with response dates typically ranging from two to four weeks.

Recent activity spans Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for Athletic Equipment & Supplies (RFP ATH2628, due March 26, 2026, estimated $13.5 million over two years across member organizations), Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District's RFP for Physical Education & Athletic Equipment, Supplies, and Apparel (RFP #26-27-01, due March 24, 2026, covering 13 athletic teams), Tolleson Union High School District's IFB for Athletic Supplies and Equipment on behalf of the SAVE cooperative (IFB #27-10-31, due March 5, 2026, estimated $4.1 million annual usage across 23 Arizona school districts), and the School Board of Marion County, Florida's bid for Physical Education Supplies (Bid #4157MF, term contract effective March 1–December 31, 2026). Sourcewell is also actively marketing a multi-jurisdictional cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) that includes athletic training dummy applications. Most awards go to multiple vendors under as-needed or catalog-discount frameworks rather than single fixed-price contracts.
