UNSPSC 53102404: Tights

UNSPSC 53102404 Tights is a Commodity code covering apparel and clothing accessories, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of apparel procurement than the nominal category name suggests. State and local governments use this code to source t-shirts, polos, hats, activewear, jackets, sweatshirts, athletic uniforms, and related accessories for institutional use, often bundled with decoration services such as screen printing and embroidery. The issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and municipal procurement offices. Temple Independent School District and the City of Philadelphia both posted opportunities under or aligned with this code within the past four months, establishing the vendor mix as small to mid-market apparel suppliers and decoration-service providers capable of supporting multi-campus or citywide distribution, online catalog management, and rush turnaround capabilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Pennsylvania. Temple ISD posted RFP00627 on September 1, 2026, seeking proposals for a multi-vendor apparel and accessories contract with custom screen printing and embroidery services, with a response deadline of October 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT; the contract serves 15 campuses and approximately 8,700 students, runs for one year with two renewal options, and requires vendors to provide online catalogs, tiered pricing, turnaround times, and FOB Destination delivery to multiple TISD locations. The City of Philadelphia issued micro-purchase B2627263 on May 29, 2026, requesting quotes for apparel and community outreach items with a response deadline of June 5, 2026 at 10:30 a.m., though this solicitation appears to emphasize hygiene and personal protection kits rather than traditional apparel, suggesting some taggging variance. Both opportunities require insurance, compliance certifications, and net pricing with prepaid freight to destination.
