UNSPSC 53102504: Gloves or mittens

UNSPSC 53102504 Gloves or mittens is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a broader range of apparel and accessories beyond the code's nominal scope — including t-shirts, polos, hats, caps, activewear, jackets, sweatshirts, athletic uniforms, and related items, often bundled with decoration services such as screen printing and embroidery. The issuing bodies tagging this code include independent school districts procuring apparel and accessories for district-wide use across multiple campuses. Temple Independent School District, serving approximately 8,700 students across 15 campuses, issued RFP00627 on September 1, 2026, seeking multi-vendor contracts for apparel, accessories, and customization services with a response deadline of October 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. The District reserves award discretion by single vendor, multiple vendors, or by line item based on best value criteria including price, product availability, quality, delivery time, customization capabilities, and prior performance. Vendors must provide online catalogs with published pricing, offer consistent discounts throughout the contract term, and deliver FOB Destination to multiple TISD locations with freight prepaid; payment terms are Net 30 via Electronic Funds Transfer with no guaranteed minimum purchase volume.

The recent activity block shows Texas as the source jurisdiction. The Temple ISD opportunity establishes a one-year contract with options to renew for two additional one-year periods contingent upon available appropriations. This code's recent visibility in state and local procurement centers on school district apparel and uniform supply — a use case that diverges materially from the code's nominal focus on gloves or mittens. Vendors responding to TISD RFP00627 must submit proposals through the District's Euna Procurement portal, including company information, pricing sheets with turnaround times for both blank apparel and decoration services (including rush options), three references, certificates of insurance, and required state and federal compliance certifications. Written questions were due September 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT.
