UNSPSC 53101501: Boys slacks or trousers or shorts

UNSPSC 53101501 Boys slacks or trousers or shorts (Commodity) covers uniform pants and related legwear for public safety, transportation, facilities maintenance, and educational personnel, as recently solicited across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments are procuring boys' and men's slacks, trousers, and shorts primarily as part of broader uniform programs for police departments, fire departments, sheriff's offices, transit authorities, school districts, and facilities maintenance operations. The Texas Facilities Commission procured uniforms for 300 facilities maintenance employees and 40 fire and security control personnel (RFP 0007240, due July 7, 2026); Clayton County Board of Commissioners solicited public safety uniforms for approximately 500 police employees including pants in men's sizes 28–54 (ITB #26-57, due July 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix's Fire Department requested 220 battle dress uniform pants annually for Arizona Task Force 1 (RFQ-26-0058, due April 16, 2026); Hillsborough County procured uniforms for approximately 50 paratransit drivers including work pants and shorts (ITQ-26-00124, due February 26, 2026); and Magnolia ISD sought custom apparel including pants and shorts for multiple campuses (RFP-030226, due April 16, 2026). Issuing bodies span state facilities commissions, county sheriff and police departments, county transit authorities, cities, and school districts. The procurement vehicles are predominantly RFPs and ITBs with two-year to five-year initial contract terms and multiple optional renewal periods.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Texas Facilities Commission, Clayton County in Georgia, City of Phoenix in Arizona, Magnolia and Donna ISDs in Texas, Hillsborough County in Florida) with geographic spread across the South, Southwest, and Southeast. Representative recent opportunities show consistent requirements for on-site fitting, embroidery or emblem services, alterations at no cost, and delivery within 14 to 30 calendar days. Uniform vendors must typically carry minimum commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, demonstrate five years of prior experience in uniform supply or rental services, and provide references for recently completed contracts. The code's activity reflects steady-state government uniform procurement tied to employee headcount and facility operations rather than seasonal demand spikes; response dates cluster in early 2026 through mid-2026, with contract service start dates typically 60 to 90 days after award.
