UNSPSC 49221530: Sports timer

A watch for time that is used in water polo games.

UNSPSC 49221530 Sports timer, a Commodity code, represents timing and scorekeeping equipment and systems that state and local governments procure for athletic facilities, including digital display boards, LED video systems, scoreboards, shot clocks, and related control hardware. The work being solicited under this code spans everything from single-sport installations at school gymnasiums to multi-display systems at stadium venues, with vendors typically responsible for design, supply, installation, integration with existing infrastructure, training, warranty, and ongoing maintenance support. Issuing bodies include school districts (both large independent districts and smaller rural or charter schools), community colleges, state universities, cities operating public athletic facilities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple member jurisdictions. School districts dominate the recent activity—Northside Independent School District (NISD) in Texas, Tupelo Public School District in Mississippi, Hudsonville Public Schools in Michigan, Holmes Community College in Mississippi, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Illinois School for the Deaf, and Cirrus Academy Charter School in Georgia all posted opportunities in the past two months. The scope of individual contracts varies sharply: some districts are consolidating multiple expiring contracts into single IFBs (NISD's consolidation of four athletic-equipment contracts), while others are replacing specific aging systems at particular venues (Tupelo High School gymnasium, Hudsonville High School pool, Illinois School for the Deaf gymnasium).

Recent activity is concentrated in the South and Midwest, with notable solicitations posted by entities in Texas (Austin ISD, NISD, Sam Houston State University), Florida (Sarasota County Schools, City of Orlando), Michigan (Hudsonville Public Schools), Mississippi (Tupelo Public School District, Holmes Community College), Illinois (Illinois School for the Deaf), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Cirrus Academy Charter School), Connecticut (City of New Haven), and Minnesota (Sourcewell cooperative vehicle serving multi-state membership). Representative recent opportunities include Sourcewell's December 1, 2026 RFP for scoreboards, digital displays, and video boards serving Sourcewell's participating entities across multiple states (solicitation 26RFP120126); Northside Independent School District's October 19, 2026 IFB for athletic equipment, supplies, software, and related services consolidating four expiring contracts (IFB2026137); Hudsonville Public Schools' October 2, 2026 RFP for pool display board and LED video controller upgrades to an existing Colorado Timing System with strict manufacturer authorization requirements and an award target of October 26, 2026 (RFPHVP2600000026771); and the City of Orlando's July 9, 2026 RFP for turn-key LED display upgrades at Camping World Stadium covering multiple integrated display configurations (RFP260459). Sarasota County Schools rejected all four bids on its June 10, 2026 scoreboard and installation services ITB (#27-0132) as non-responsive and planned to reissue; the resulting contract would have covered five distinct scoreboard configurations across baseball, softball, football, soccer, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, and wrestling venues with hurricane-rated structural standards and five-year warranty requirements.
