UNSPSC 53101602: Mens shirts

UNSPSC 53101602 Mens shirts (Commodity) covers the procurement of men's shirt apparel by state and local governments, including duty uniforms, tactical and performance gear, dress shirts, polos, and custom-embroidered or screen-printed items for operational and administrative personnel. State and local buyers use this code for uniform programs serving public safety, corrections, facilities maintenance, transit, and administrative workforces—work ranging from bulk initial outfits with ongoing monthly replacement orders to specialized tactical garments meeting fire-resistance and durability standards. The mix of issuing bodies spans state agencies (Texas Facilities Commission, Illinois Secretary of State, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), counties (Clayton County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hillsborough County in Florida), cities (Phoenix Fire Department, Philadelphia), independent school districts (Laredo ISD, Magnolia ISD), and transit authorities (Hillsborough County Sunshine Line). Recent solicitations show repeat activity from Texas state entities and school districts seeking uniform supply and rental services.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, and Arizona. The Texas Facilities Commission issued RFP 0007240 (due July 7, 2026) for uniform rental and purchase services across four locations, seeking both poly-cotton rental uniforms for facilities maintenance staff and fire-resistant garments meeting ATPV and NFPA 2112 standards. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicited 30,000 CornerStone CS410 tactical polo shirts (ITB 304T26200A1, due July 13, 2026) for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across seven size ranges. Clayton County, Georgia issued ITB #26-57 (due July 9, 2026) for public safety uniforms for approximately 500 police employees with mandatory local showroom and five-year experience requirements. The Illinois Secretary of State issued two sequential RFQs (reissued April 21, 2026, and March 17, 2026) for approximately 1,590 initial uniforms in multiple styles for trades and custodial staff with ongoing monthly orders through June 2029, all requiring union print-shop silk-screening of logos. The City of Phoenix Fire Department solicited five-year BDU and tactical apparel procurement (RFQ-26-0058, due April 16, 2026) for Arizona Task Force 1 with 30-day delivery and customization capability. Magnolia ISD in Montgomery County, Texas issued RFP 030226 (due April 16, 2026) for custom apparel services covering t-shirts, polos, hoodies, and jackets with embroidery and screen printing. School districts and transit authorities typically structure these as annual or multi-year requirements contracts with fixed per-item pricing and optional renewal periods, while state agencies and public safety entities frequently mandate local showroom presence, experience thresholds, or specialized certifications such as prevailing wage compliance or fire-safety standards.
