UNSPSC 49221526: Weight lifting belt

A belt that is made with leather and others as worn in the weightlifting games.

UNSPSC 49221526 Weight lifting belt is a Commodity code tracking the supply of individual weight lifting belts and related lifting support apparel—though recent state and local opportunities show the code encompassing far broader gym and fitness equipment procurement, from comprehensive weight room installations at schools and fire departments to individual treadmills and cable machines for police facilities. State and local governments are not procuring weight belts in isolation; they are bundling them within large multi-item fitness center build-outs and maintenance contracts that span cardio machines, strength equipment, free weights, storage racks, mats, accessories, and onsite installation and repair services. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Public Safety), city fire departments (San Antonio Fire Department, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department), school districts spanning elementary through higher education (Brooks County Schools and Cherokee County Schools in Georgia; Los Fresnos and Harlingen ISDs in Texas; Itawamba Community College in Mississippi), state universities and university systems (Texas A&M University, Albany State University, University of West Georgia), and community colleges. Texas agencies and school districts dominate recent posting volume, with Georgia school districts and Texas higher education showing strong concurrent activity. Single-award, multi-award, and catalog-discount vehicle structures all appear in the mix; evaluation typically weights cost heavily but incorporates technical specifications, vendor experience, and delivery timeline.

Recent opportunities illustrate the market: Texas Department of Public Safety's May 2026 IFB for Houston Highway Patrol gym equipment (31 line items including a Vision Fitness treadmill, free weights, kettlebells, bumper plates, and installation; response deadline June 4, 2026); City of San Antonio's June 2026 IFB for bi-annual preventive maintenance and repair of fitness equipment across 54 fire stations (response June 12, 2026); and City of Atlanta's June 2026 pre-advertisement notice for a multi-step sealed bid covering purchase, installation, and four-year service of 18 equipment groups—cardio machines, functional trainers, free weights, and accessories across multiple fire rescue locations (prequalification due June 30, 2026). Columbia County Schools in Georgia's March 2026 RFP for weight room equipment at two high schools (double racks, benches, dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, bands, and onsite installation; due March 31, 2026) and Connecticut's March 2026 ITB for exercise and strength training equipment to serve all state agencies and political subdivisions (treadmills, ellipticals, stair climbers, rowing machines, stationary bikes, strength machines, accessories, and optional repair; due April 15, 2026) round out the recent wave. Geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut reflects recent activity, with secondary postings from Mississippi, Maine, Minnesota-linked cooperative (Sourcewell), and others. Most opportunities specify FOB Destination and include delivery and installation as line items; warranty, preventive maintenance, and parts-availability terms are increasingly central to award evaluation.
