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, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code overwhelmingly cover commercial-grade fitness equipment procurement, installation, preventive maintenance, and repair services — treadmills, strength machines, cardio equipment, free weights, and related accessories — rather than individual weight lifting belts. The issuing bodies span cities (Tucson, San Antonio, Atlanta, Austin), state departments (Texas Department of Public Safety, Illinois Department of Military Affairs, Maine Department of Defense), a university (Texas A&M), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Fire departments, police departments, parks and recreation agencies, and military facilities drive the bulk of demand. Scope includes new equipment procurement with vendor specifications, preventive maintenance contracts on bi-annual or quarterly cycles, on-call repair services with parts-supply obligations, installation and setup, technician training, and comprehensive warranty support. Contracts frequently require vendor insurance, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, living wage adherence per municipal ordinance, Section 3 HUD labor requirements, and Buy America provisions on purchases exceeding $100,000. Payment terms typically run within 21 days of invoice, with contract terms spanning one year with optional renewals.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Houston, San Antonio, Austin) and includes secondary activity in Arizona (Tucson), Georgia (Atlanta), and multi-state cooperative procurement through Sourcewell serving Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tucson RFP 270143 (Fitness Equipment — New, Preventative Maintenance, Repair and On-Call Services, due October 15, 2026) spanning Parks and Recreation, Police, and Fire locations; the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP024 (Athletic Equipment, Supplies, Apparel, Uniforms, and Related Services, due September 15, 2026); the City of San Antonio IFB 6100019589 (Fitness Equipment Preventive Maintenance and Repair Services for fire stations, due June 12, 2026); and the City of Atlanta pre-bid notice PE66062NONST2026000000403 (multi-step sealed bid for purchase, installation, preventive maintenance, and repair of commercial-grade fitness equipment at fire stations, prequalification due June 30, 2026). The code mismatch suggests the procurement taxonomy has not been updated to reflect the actual commodities and services being solicited.
