UNSPSC 53102710: Corporate uniforms

UNSPSC 53102710 Corporate uniforms, a Commodity code, encompasses the purchase of ready-made and custom apparel for employee identification and professional presentation across state and local agencies, with recent solicitations ranging from public-safety uniforms to school district band attire to municipal workforce apparel. State and local governments procure corporate uniforms through county purchasing departments, municipal procurement offices, independent school districts, transit authorities, state agencies, and special-purpose districts such as water authorities and school system safety departments. The work solicited includes standardized uniform packages (shirts, trousers, outerwear, duty gear), custom embroidery and screen-printing services, tailoring and alterations, web-based employee ordering portals, and inventory management. Most state and local bodies issuing under this code are counties and cities; school districts and transit authorities appear regularly as repeat buyers. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's competitive quote for Pet Resources Department uniforms (ITQ 2700013, due November 2, 2026, $38,141 estimated value over two years), Texas A&M Forest Service's RFP for a single uniform provider serving over 500 employees (RFP 27003, due November 3, 2026, annual value exceeding $100,000), Fontana Unified School District's sealed bid for band uniforms (Bid 26/27-0011, due November 6, 2026), Henry County Georgia's annual police uniform contract (ITB 27-13, due September 24, 2026), and Palm Beach County's comprehensive uniform program for Fire Rescue, Animal Care & Control, and transit (RFP 26-054-DJ, due July 23, 2026, with historical Fire Rescue spending of approximately $3.9 million over three years).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary clusters in California, South Carolina, and New England. Opportunities span routine annual contracts under indefinite-quantity, as-needed structures, with contract terms typically running one to three years plus renewal options. Vendors commonly must meet minimum experience thresholds (typically five years), maintain local showrooms or service centers for employee fittings, provide web-based ordering platforms, absorb customization and delivery costs, carry specified insurance minimums ($1 million general liability per occurrence is standard), and comply with state-level set-asides including SBE, MBE, WBE, and local-business preferences where applicable. Delivery timelines of fourteen to forty-five days from purchase order receipt are standard. The code sees steady quarterly activity with response windows typically two to six weeks from posting.
