UNSPSC 53101601: Boys shirts

UNSPSC 53101601 Boys shirts is a Commodity code that describes narrow-fit apparel procurement within state and local government, though recent solicitation activity under this code spans a broader mix of uniform and general-purpose apparel for workforce use. State and local buyers under this code include state agencies (Texas A&M Forest Service, Texas Facilities Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Mississippi Department of Public Safety), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Philadelphia, City of Richardson), counties (Clayton County Board of Commissioners), independent school districts (Temple Independent School District), and higher-education entities (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). The work solicited ranges from tactical and fire-resistant uniforms for law enforcement and facilities maintenance to general-purpose polo shirts and t-shirts for office and field personnel, often bundled with embroidery, screen printing, emblem services, and alterations. Vendors commonly manage online ordering portals, maintain inventory to support rapid fulfillment (often within ten to thirty days), handle no-cost returns of defective or non-conforming items, and deliver to multiple locations or headquarters distribution points.

Recent solicitations show geographic concentration in Texas, with activity also in Georgia, Arizona, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. The Texas A&M Forest Service is seeking a single uniform provider (RFP 27003, due Nov 3, 2026) to supply field uniforms, law enforcement uniforms, and business casual wear for over 500 employees under a two-year term with potential three-year extensions, with award anticipated in early December 2026; the Mississippi Department of Public Safety posted an IFB (3160008204, closed Oct 1, 2026) for men's and women's shirts and trousers for Capitol Police, approximately 450 pieces annually; the Texas Comptroller posted an IFB (304T26200A1) for 30,000 tactical polo shirts in a proprietary brand destined for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; and the City of Phoenix issued an IFB (25-0771, closed Jul 28, 2025) for a five-year contract covering safety and non-safety uniforms and accessories across nine city departments with firm discount pricing. Temple Independent School District (RFP 006-27, due Oct 6, 2026) is establishing a multi-vendor contract for apparel and custom decoration serving 15 campuses, and Clayton County Board of Commissioners (ITB 26-57, due Jul 9, 2026) is seeking public safety uniforms for approximately 500 police employees with local-showroom and on-site measurement requirements. Contract terms typically run one to five years with renewal options; pricing is commonly firm for twelve to twenty-four months with subsequent adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or manufacturer list revisions.
