UNSPSC 53101603: Girls shirts or blouses

UNSPSC 53101603 Girls shirts or blouses is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with girls' apparel procurement. Instead, the three most recent postings reflect broader custom apparel and embroidered-items contracting: the City of Richardson's RFQ for embroidered items (posted May 14, 2026), Magnolia Independent School District's RFP for custom apparel including t-shirts, polo shirts, button-up shirts, hoodies, jackets, and related services such as embroidery and screen printing (posted March 2, 2026), and Laredo Independent School District's RFP for grease trap removal services (posted March 29, 2026), which is unrelated to apparel. The apparel solicitations from Richardson and MISD indicate that school districts and municipal governments are buying customized clothing with embroidery, screen printing, and heat-seal services to meet operational and departmental needs, typically through annual or multi-year requirements contracts with one-to-three-week turnaround expectations and firm fixed pricing per item.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas school districts and municipal procurement offices. Magnolia ISD (Montgomery County) and Laredo ISD represent repeat institutional buyers seeking custom apparel and related services; the City of Richardson similarly sources embroidered items on an annual requirements basis. The geographic spread is limited to Texas in the recent posting window. MISD's RFP (RFP030226, due April 16, 2026) sought custom apparel vendors with three years' experience, $1 million general liability insurance, and the ability to deliver within one-to-three weeks on a firm fixed-price per-item model, with contract commencement June 1, 2026, and potential five-year term. The City of Richardson's RFQ (Solicitation 5526, due June 16, 2026) used a best-value methodology for an annual embroidered-items contract. Neither solicitation disclosed budget ranges or set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises. The code shows limited recent activity specifically for girls' shirts or blouses; instead, it captures broader custom apparel and embroidery procurement driven by school district and municipal operational needs.
