UNSPSC 49241510: Rope climbing equipment

UNSPSC 49241510 Rope climbing equipment is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers a broader range of athletic and law enforcement equipment than the code name alone suggests. State and local buyers use this classification to source sports equipment, athletic apparel, customization services, and law enforcement gear on an as-needed basis through cooperative purchasing vehicles and institutional procurement. The issuing bodies include state universities, county governments participating in cooperative purchasing consortia, and state-level service cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types — including K-12 school districts, law enforcement agencies, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and the Pacific Northwest. Albany State University issued an RFQ on March 6, 2026 (response due March 26, 2026) for Athletic Equipment, Apparel, and Customization Services to support its Division II NCAA intercollegiate athletics programs. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington State (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and other jurisdictions nationwide; this cooperative procurement vehicle establishes a framework contract available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 districts, higher education institutions, and tribal governments. Both solicitations use cooperative or framework structures to achieve standardized contracting across multiple buyer organizations.
