UNSPSC 53102000: Dresses and skirts and saris and kimonos

UNSPSC 53102000 Dresses and skirts and saris and kimonos is a Class code under which state and local governments actually procure apparel, accessories, and decoration services including screen printing and embroidery. Recent solicitations show that the code captures district-wide and municipal purchases of branded or customized clothing — t-shirts, polos, hats, caps, activewear, jackets, sweatshirts, athletic uniforms, and related items — often bundled with in-house embroidery or screen printing services. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and municipalities, with vendors expected to provide online catalogs, competitive pricing with published discount structures, rapid turnaround times (including rush services), and multi-location delivery logistics. School districts are the dominant buyer type under this code, followed by city governments procuring for departmental and operational use.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, where Temple Independent School District (TISD) posted RFP00627 on September 1, 2026 with an October 6, 2026 response deadline for a multi-vendor apparel and accessories contract supporting 15 campuses and approximately 8,700 students, and the City of Richardson posted an annual requirements contract for embroidered items (Solicitation 5526) with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. Both solicitations use best value evaluation criteria and require vendors to demonstrate prior performance via references, maintain certificates of insurance, comply with state and federal certifications, and accept prepaid FOB Destination freight to multiple locations. TISD's contract allows renewal for two additional one-year periods with no guaranteed minimum purchase volume; Richardson's procurement is structured as an annual requirements contract with ongoing departmental ordering flexibility. Neither opportunity disclosed specific contract values or minimum purchase commitments.
