UNSPSC 53101601: Boys shirts

UNSPSC 53101601 Boys shirts is a Commodity code capturing the procurement of boys' shirt products by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show wide variation in scope, ranging from specialized public-safety and facilities uniforms with technical fire-resistance and durability requirements to general-purpose custom apparel for school districts and municipal operations. The Texas Facilities Commission's RFP 0007240 (due July 7, 2026) solicits uniform rental and purchase services for facilities maintenance and fire-safety personnel, including boys' shirts in standard and extended sizes with soil-resistant properties and compliance with NFPA 2112 fire-resistance standards; the Texas Comptroller's ITB 304T-26-200A1 (due July 13, 2026) procures 30,000 tactical polo shirts in CornerStone CS410 brand—primarily for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—with specific fabric, pocket, and sleeve specifications across seven size ranges. Clayton County, Georgia's ITB #26-57 (due July 9, 2026) awards uniform contracts to public-safety providers meeting local showroom and five-year experience thresholds. Issuers span state procurement divisions, county commissioners, city procurement offices, school districts, and transit authorities, with repeat activity from Texas state agencies, Texas school districts, Texas municipalities, and Florida transit authorities. Illinois Secretary of State and City of Philadelphia procurements emphasize bulk uniform orders with union printing or embroidery requirements and multi-year contract terms.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas (state procurement office, school districts, municipalities), Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. The Texas Comptroller's procurement and the Illinois Secretary of State's uniform contracts represent sustained, multi-year volume commitments. Clayton County and Phoenix Fire Department solicitations reflect public-safety focus. School districts in Texas (Magnolia ISD, Laredo ISD) and the City of Philadelphia (micro-purchase B2627263, small-order purchase B2626775) show ongoing apparel demand tied to operational and community-facing needs. Representative opportunities include customized apparel for school districts with embroidery or screen-printing (Magnolia ISD RFP030226, Richardson annual requirements contract 5526), transit-authority uniforms with sizing breadth and alteration services (Hillsborough County ITQ2600124 for paratransit, estimated contract value $30,862.00 over two years), and state-level bulk orders with prevailing-wage and union-shop constraints (Illinois Secretary of State RFQ, due April 28, 2026, with contract through June 30, 2029).
