UNSPSC 53102513: Headbands

UNSPSC 53102513 Headbands, a Commodity code, spans protective and apparel-related headwear that state and local governments procure primarily through law enforcement and school district sourcing. Recent solicitations show the code active in cooperative purchasing frameworks and school-district athletic procurement, where headbands appear as components within broader uniform and equipment packages rather than standalone line items. The issuing bodies include state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell (Minnesota), county governments participating in multi-jurisdictional procurement consortia, and K–12 school districts. Gallup-McKinley County School District in New Mexico, for example, has recently sought athletic uniforms and related materials including headbands across 14 varsity and middle-school sports programs; Sourcewell, acting on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, has solicited law enforcement equipment packages that may incorporate protective headwear.

Geographic activity centers on Washington and New Mexico based on recent postings, with broader participation across the United States and Canada through Sourcewell's multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing structure. Sourcewell posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026; the opportunity encompasses thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments. Gallup-McKinley County School District posted ITB 202628BK for Athletic Uniforms & Related Material on February 27, 2026, with sealed bids due March 24, 2026, and estimated average annual District spending of approximately $110,000. New Mexico resident business preferences apply to the school-district solicitation, with eligible categories including Resident Business, Resident Native American Business, Resident Veteran Business, and Native American Veteran Business, with resident veteran businesses generating prior-year revenue of $3 million or less eligible for a 10 percent preference discount.
