UNSPSC 53101702: Mens sweaters

UNSPSC 53101702 Mens sweaters (Commodity) encompasses embroidered and custom apparel work that state and local governments procure for operational and departmental use, including branded shirts, polo wear, hoodies, jackets, and associated decoration services such as embroidery, screen printing, and heat-seal appliques. Recent solicitations show school districts and municipalities buying these items for staff uniforms, departmental identity, and operational support rather than student athletic wear. Issuing bodies include independent school districts and city purchasing offices; the code sees activity from both routine operational apparel needs and specialized embroidered-item requirements contracts. Vendors must typically demonstrate three or more years of relevant production experience, hold general liability insurance, provide professional references, and meet local licensing and debarment compliance requirements.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas, where three of the three recent solicitations originated. The City of Richardson (Dallas County) posted Solicitation 5526 on May 14, 2026, seeking an annual requirements contract for embroidered items with proposals due June 16, 2026, through a best value process. Donna Independent School District (Cameron County) issued a catalog-bid RFP on March 21, 2026, for golf equipment and supplies including golf apparel and shoes with a proposal deadline of April 8, 2026, and contract term from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. Magnolia Independent School District (Montgomery County) released RFP030226 on March 2, 2026, for custom apparel including t-shirts, polos, button-ups, hoodies, jackets, caps, and pants with proposals due April 16, 2026, and an anticipated June 1, 2026, contract start.
