UNSPSC 53102710: Corporate uniforms

UNSPSC 53102710 Corporate uniforms is a Commodity code that covers police and public safety uniforms, fire department attire, EMS uniforms, athletic wear, maintenance work clothes, and general employee apparel with embroidery, alterations, and related customization services—substantially narrower than the abstract code name and grounded in what state and local procurement offices are actually buying. State and local governments acquire uniforms through police departments, fire departments, emergency services divisions, school districts, transit authorities, water authorities, and municipal maintenance departments. Issuers span city procurement offices (Detroit, St. Petersburg, Tucson, Phoenix, Amarillo), county boards and purchasing departments (Jefferson County Texas, Gwinnett County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida, Orange County California, Greenville County South Carolina, DeKalb County Georgia, Hall County Georgia, Okaloosa County Florida, Clayton County Georgia), regional transit authorities (Palm Beach County, Dallas Area Rapid Transit), school districts (Northside Independent School District Texas, Clark County Nevada, Magnolia ISD Texas, Gallup-McKinley County New Mexico, Los Fresnos CISD Texas, DeKalb County Schools Georgia), and special-purpose districts (Events DC, Louisville Fire Department). Recent solicitations include the City of Detroit Police Department requesting quotes for Class A and B duty uniforms with specified manufacturers including Flying Cross, Elbeco, and Safariland under RFQ 549771 (response due August 5, 2026); Jefferson County Sheriff's Department seeking law enforcement and corrections uniforms and equipment through IFB 26-030/CG (bids due August 19, 2026); and Palm Beach County requesting comprehensive uniform programs for Fire Rescue, Animal Care & Control, and transit staff under RFP 26-054-DJ (proposals due July 23, 2026, with historical Fire Rescue spending of approximately $3.9 million over three years).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Northside ISD, Magnolia ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Amarillo, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Donna ISD), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Clayton County, DeKalb County, Hall County, Richmond County, Dekalb schools), Florida (Jefferson County, Palm Beach County, St. Petersburg, Okaloosa County, Hillsborough County, Tampa), and Arizona (Tucson, Phoenix), with ongoing activity in Connecticut, Nevada, Colorado, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Oregon. Representative active opportunities include Texas Facilities Commission requesting uniform rental and purchase services across four Austin-area locations under RFP 0007240 (proposals due July 7, 2026, with Fire Rescue historical spending of approximately $3.9 million); City of South Fulton Georgia seeking managed police uniforms and accessories under RFP 26-28 (proposals due July 9, 2026); Clayton County Police Department seeking public safety uniforms through ITB 26-57 (bids due July 9, 2026, with local showroom requirement within 45 miles of Jonesboro); and Clark County School District requesting full-service uniform rental for Facilities Management (proposals due July 2, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with optional annual renewals, emphasize on-site measuring and alterations at no additional cost, require online ordering portals with inventory management, and award on a low-bid or best-value basis. Set-asides and local preferences appear in Detroit (up to 12 percent Detroit-based business credit), Palm Beach County (15 percent SBE weighting), and Louisville (5 percent local vendor preference and 5 percent minimum-wage business preference). Estimated annual values range from $30,000 (Hillsborough County paratransit) to $900,000 (multi-agency fire districts) with substantial multi-year cumulatives.
