UNSPSC 53101802: Mens coats or jackets

UNSPSC 53101802 Mens coats or jackets (Commodity) covers a broad range of outerwear procurement by state and local governments, though recent activity shows substantial divergence from the code's nominal scope. The source opportunities reveal that state and local bodies are buying custom embroidered apparel (including custom polo shirts, jackets, and branded headwear for city councils and agency operations), police and fire department uniforms and tactical outerwear, school athletic uniforms and team wear, employee uniforms across maintenance and transportation staff, and specialized firefighting ensembles—most of which involve embroidery, screen printing, customization, or performance certifications rather than off-the-shelf mens coats. The issuing-body mix includes city procurement offices (Philadelphia, Phoenix, Dallas, Tucson, Richardson), independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Donna ISD in Cameron County, Magnolia ISD in Montgomery County, Los Fresnos Consolidated ISD in Cameron County), state agencies (Railroad Commission of Texas), and special-purpose districts (Tucson Fire and Police Departments). School districts and municipalities dominate recent posting activity, with Texas jurisdictions appearing in eight of the ten opportunities listed.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Arizona, with secondary representation in Pennsylvania. Representative opportunities include the City of Richardson's annual requirements contract for embroidered items (RFQ, due June 16, 2026); the Railroad Commission of Texas's IFB for 1,250 custom Port Authority soft shell jackets with embroidered RRC seals in multiple sizes and colors (IFB 455-26-1028, due March 24, 2026); Northside Independent School District's IFB for multi-sport athletic uniforms and branded team wear across ten sports (IFB 2026-073, due May 14, 2026); the City of Tucson Police and Fire Departments' annual requirements contract for formal uniforms, ballistic shields, and body armor with an estimated annual usage of $300,000 (RFP 260177, due May 26, 2026); Los Fresnos Consolidated ISD's RFP for employee uniforms across police, security, maintenance, and general staff (RFP 26-27-09, due April 9, 2026); and the City of Dallas Fire-Rescue Department's RFI for NFPA 1970-certified structural firefighting ensemble coats and pants (RFI BD2600029714, due March 6, 2026). School district athletic uniform procurements and municipal police-and-fire-department uniform contracts represent the largest recent volume and appear to cycle annually or on multi-year renewal schedules.
