UNSPSC 53101501: Boys slacks or trousers or shorts

UNSPSC 53101501 Boys slacks or trousers or shorts (Commodity) encompasses casual and work apparel for youth, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on a broader scope: school districts, municipal utilities, and state agencies are buying multi-category uniform and apparel contracts that include boys' pants alongside shirts, jackets, accessories, and customization services. The issuing bodies span independent school districts (particularly in Texas), municipal departments across transportation, parks, public works and water services, county police departments, and state facilities commissions. Vendors typically supply through online catalogs with firm discounts from published pricing, must offer embroidery and screen-printing decoration, and compete on price, delivery speed, product quality, customization capability, and prior performance rather than volume commitments. Contracts run one to five years with optional renewals, and most require FOB Destination delivery with freight prepaid by the vendor.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Arizona. Temple Independent School District (TISD) posted RFP 006-27 on September 1, 2026, closing October 6, 2026, to establish a multi-vendor apparel and accessories contract including custom decoration for 15 campuses serving approximately 8,700 students—an RFP reflecting typical district-level consolidation of casual wear and customized uniforms. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 25-0771 (posted July 22, 2026; offers due July 28, 2025) for safety and non-safety uniforms across nine municipal departments over five years, with detailed embroidery and logo-placement specifications by department. The Texas Facilities Commission posted RFP 0007240 (June 30, 2026; due July 7, 2026) for uniform purchase and rental services at four Austin-area locations, requiring five-year vendor experience and anticipating separate awards for rentals and outright sales. Clayton County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued ITB #26-57 (June 15, 2026; due July 9, 2026) for approximately 500 police uniforms with a mandatory local showroom requirement within 45 miles of Jonesboro. All recent solicitations mandate insurance coverage (workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and commercial automobile liability), pre-bid or pre-proposal conferences, and compliance with state tax exemptions and federal affidavits such as E-Verify.
