UNSPSC 53102200: Folkloric clothing

UNSPSC 53102200 Folkloric clothing is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses protective equipment for operational personnel, specifically motorcycle and tactical gloves for law enforcement use. The City of Austin Police Department's recent IFQ for motorcycle protective gloves—citing exact manufacturer models with specialized features including hard-shell knuckle protection, impact foam, Gore-Tex technology, and crash replacement programs—shows that this code in practice captures protective apparel for government operational needs rather than traditional folkloric dress. The issuing body mix appears limited; the recent opportunity block shows procurement by a city police department, a use case that suggests municipal law enforcement agencies drive activity under this code.

The City of Austin Police Department posted IFQ 8700 JG 1040 on July 29, 2026, with quotes due August 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM for 100 pairs of motorcycle protective gloves (Rev'It Monster 3 Gloves and Klim Vanguard GTX Long Gloves in assorted sizes, small through 3XL) to be delivered within 90 calendar days to the Austin Police Equipment facility. Evaluation will be lowest-price, all-inclusive on FOB Destination terms, with no substitutions permitted and payment within thirty days of satisfactory delivery. The recent-opportunities block contains only this single posting, limiting characterization of broader geographic spread or recurring buyer patterns; activity under this code appears sparse or narrowly focused in current state and local procurement databases.
