UNSPSC 53102506: Sweat bands

UNSPSC 53102506 Sweat bands (Commodity) covers athletic and casual apparel accessories that state and local governments procure through school districts and other public bodies seeking branded and customized gear for staff, teams, and event distribution. The code encompasses sweat bands and related athletic accessories as part of broader apparel and accessories contracts, though the recent activity reflects a wider scope of coordinated apparel procurement alongside decoration services such as screen printing and embroidery rather than sweat bands in isolation.

Temple Independent School District posted RFP00627 on September 1, 2026, soliciting proposals for apparel and accessories including custom screen printing and embroidery services, with a response deadline of October 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. The District serves approximately 8,700 students across 15 campuses and is establishing a multi-vendor contract for branded apparel (t-shirts, polos, hats, caps, activewear, jackets, sweatshirts, and athletic uniforms) alongside decoration capabilities. Vendors must provide online catalogs, maintain consistent discount percentages throughout the one-year contract term (with two optional one-year renewals), offer turnaround times for both blank apparel and decoration services including rush options, and deliver with prepaid freight to multiple TISD locations on FOB Destination terms. Award will be made on Best Value considering price, product availability, quality, delivery time, customization capabilities, and prior performance. The source reflects limited recent activity under this specific Commodity code, with no other state or local opportunities currently visible beyond the Temple ISD solicitation.
