UNSPSC 49221529: Fencing judging machine

A judging machine that uses the electricity used in the fencing game. When the tip of the sword is touched the opponent's body, the judging machine has the light on.

UNSPSC 49221529 Fencing judging machine is a Commodity code that in practice does not correspond to the fencing work actually being solicited by state and local governments. Recent opportunities show the code tagged to general fencing installation, repair, and replacement projects—perimeter fencing at parks and facilities, golf course safety netting and pole work, disaster fencing repair following emergencies, and temporary chain-link fence panels—none of which involve judging machines or sports timing equipment. The issuing bodies are mixed county governments (Collier County and Barrow County, Florida and Georgia respectively), municipalities (City of Taylor, Michigan and City of Bartow, Florida), a county purchasing cooperative (Sarasota County), and a regional cooperative purchasing vehicle (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The scope of work spans labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for new installation, repair, maintenance, and removal of metal, wood, vinyl-coated chain link, aluminum, and PVC fencing at parks, municipal facilities, and golf courses, with contract terms ranging from one year through three years with renewal options.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Sarasota County, and Bartow) and Georgia (Barrow County), with one Michigan opportunity (City of Taylor) and one Texas cooperative structure. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Taylor's sealed-bid invitation for Taylor Meadows Golf Course netting and pole removal and installation due September 29, 2026 (IFB IFBDATE2621), Barrow County Board of Commissioners' RFP2027-08 for Victor Lord Park fencing installation at Fields 8–11 with proposals due October 29, 2026, Collier County's sealed-bid solicitation for NEUF Perimeter Fence, Irrigation, and Landscaping with an anticipated budget of $3.4 million due October 8, 2026 (IFB 26-8702), and the City of Bartow's FEMA-funded disaster fencing and gate repair contract (ITB 26-25) for emergency response services through May 31, 2027. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity signals that this code is not aligned with current state and local fencing procurement practice.
