UNSPSC 49221530: Sports timer

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

UNSPSC 49221530 Sports timer, a Commodity code, addresses timing and scorekeeping devices for athletic events, though recent state and local solicitations under this code are dominated by much larger LED display, video board, and digital scoreboard system procurements rather than standalone timers. School districts, counties, universities, and special-purpose athletics facilities are the primary buying bodies; purchases range from modest single-facility scoreboards to multi-location system rollouts spanning consortial procurement vehicles. The scope encompasses LED video displays, sideline ribbon systems, integrated control software, installation, and warranty coverage. Hillsborough County, Florida and multiple Georgia school systems are among recent active issuers. A Hillsborough County ITB (ITB-26-00160) solicited NEVCO-specific scoreboards with a two-year estimated value of $442,095 and response deadline of April 3, 2026. The City of Orlando issued an RFP for comprehensive LED upgrades at Camping World Stadium with turn-key manufacturing, supply, delivery, installation, and testing (response due July 9, 2026). Sam Houston State University solicited LED display system replacement at Bowers Stadium through its BearKatBuy portal. Lee County High School in Georgia posted an RFI (response deadline April 27, 2026) gathering vendor capability and budgetary information on digital scoreboard and LED video systems with management software before formal procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas and Connecticut. The code also captures incidental responses to broader athletic equipment and supplies catalogs issued by school districts and cooperatives—Tolleson Union High School's SAVE cooperative procurement (response March 5, 2026) and Donna ISD's volleyball equipment bid both included scoreboard-adjacent items, though these are not the primary focus of those solicitations. The mismatch between the nominal "sports timer" commodity name and the preponderance of large-scale integrated display system procurements suggests this code is used as a catch-all for scorekeeping infrastructure rather than discrete timing devices. Scoreboard and LED display wins are typically awarded to vendors with integration experience, surety and insurance capacity, and proven installation capability across multiple locations; the capital intensity and multi-year contract terms place this work outside micro-vendor reach.
