UNSPSC 53102513: Headbands

UNSPSC 53102513 Headbands is a Commodity code that captures athletic and occupational headwear, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the nominal scope. Temple Independent School District's RFP00627, posted September 1, 2026, solicited apparel and accessories including hats, caps, and related items alongside screen printing and embroidery services—a broad apparel-and-decoration contract where headbands would be incidental line items rather than primary focus. Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, targeted law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating jurisdictions across multiple states and provinces, an asset category wholly unrelated to headbands. The code does not show established recent momentum under its literal scope in state and local solicitation activity.

The issuing bodies and geographic spread signal occasional use of this code for broader procurement categories. Temple ISD, a Texas school district serving approximately 8,700 students across 15 campuses, sought multi-vendor apparel contracting with awards based on best value (price, availability, quality, delivery, customization, and prior performance); the RFP was due October 6, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, coordinated the law enforcement equipment solicitation on behalf of counties in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and numerous other public entities nationwide and in Canada; that RFP closed June 16, 2026. The code shows sparse relevant state and local activity, with opportunities tagged to it appearing to fall outside the headband and athletic headwear domain.
