UNSPSC 49241601: Croquet sets

UNSPSC 49241601 Croquet sets (Commodity) covers recreational and athletic equipment that state and local governments buy for parks, recreation programs, schools, and community facilities. Recent opportunities show the code capturing a broader family of sports and athletic goods than the nominal "croquet sets" title suggests—pickleball supplies, tennis equipment, physical education supplies, and general community recreation equipment dominate the solicitations, indicating that issuers tag diverse racquet sports, court games, and gymnasium equipment under this Commodity code. Issuing bodies include school districts (Donna Independent School District in Texas, Marion County School Board in Florida), city recreation departments (District of Columbia parks and recreation programs), and higher education institutions (Albany State University). The District of Columbia appears most frequently, with multiple FY26 solicitations for recreational supplies restricted to CBE and SBE vendors.

Geographic activity clusters in the District of Columbia, Texas, Florida, and Georgia based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Donna Independent School District's April 8, 2026 RFQ for tennis equipment and supplies on catalog discount (establishing a multi-vendor awarded list for the 2026-2027 school year), Marion County School Board's January 14, 2026 IFB for physical education supplies including basketballs, volleyballs, soccer balls, and field equipment (ten-month term, delivery to central warehouse), Albany State University's March 26, 2026 RFQ for athletic apparel and customization services, and multiple District of Columbia procurement opportunities—pickleball supplies (July 15, 2026 deadline, CBE/SBE set-aside), community recreation supplies (January 27, 2026 deadline, CBE/SBE set-aside), and roving leader program supplies (March 23, 2026 deadline). The compressed timelines typical of District of Columbia solicitations (two to five business days) and the prevalence of multi-vendor catalog or as-needed contract vehicles reflect procurement patterns favoring flexible, recurring purchases of commodity sports goods.
