UNSPSC 53101502: Mens slacks or trousers or shorts

UNSPSC 53101502 Men's slacks or trousers or shorts is a Commodity code capturing apparel worn by public-sector workforces — principally uniforms and customized clothing for law enforcement, fire services, transit operators, facilities maintenance staff, and other uniformed personnel. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through bulk uniform contracts that bundle pants, shirts, outerwear, and embroidery services, often bundled into broader "uniform supply and rental" procurements where a single vendor supplies multiple garment types alongside fittings, alterations, laundry, and repair. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Texas Facilities Commission), county sheriffs and commissioners (Williamson County, Clayton County, Hillsborough County), cities (Phoenix Fire Department), transit authorities (Hillsborough County Sunshine Line), and school districts (Donna ISD, Magnolia ISD). State departments and county purchasing offices appear as repeat buyers across recent solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in Georgia and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Facilities Commission's RFP 0007240 (issued June 30, 2026; due July 7, 2026) for uniform purchase and rental across four Austin locations, supporting 395 employees in facilities maintenance, fire/security, and executive roles, with a two-year term and two-year renewal options; Clayton County Board of Commissioners' ITB #26-57 (issued June 15, 2026; due July 9, 2026) for public safety uniforms covering approximately 500 police department employees with on-site measurement and embroidery services, one-year term with four optional renewals; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITQ 26-00124 (issued February 3, 2026; due February 26, 2026) for paratransit uniforms at an estimated value of $30,862.00 over two years; and the City of Phoenix Fire Department's RFQ 26-0058 (issued March 26, 2026; due April 16, 2026) for BDUs, fatigue shirts, and tactical gear supporting Arizona Task Force 1, a five-year contract commencing June 27, 2026. Vendors typically must demonstrate five years of experience, maintain local showroom or fitting capacity, and carry workers' compensation and general liability insurance with minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence.
