Complete uniform for those who practice sports such as soccer, tennis, basket, etc.

UNSPSC 53102717 Sport uniform is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized apparel for police, fire, EMS, school athletics, and municipal operations personnel. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies buying Class A and Class B dress uniforms, tactical duty wear, athletic team apparel, embroidered insignia and patches, alterations, embroidery services, and online ordering systems integrated with employee account tracking. The mix of buyers spans municipal police and fire departments, county sheriff offices and corrections systems, school districts (both K-12 and athletics programs), transit authorities, water utilities, and special-purpose districts. Repeat buyers include city public works and parks departments, county emergency services, and independent school districts consolidating uniform procurement across multiple campuses and employee groups. Orders typically specify manufacturer preferences (Blauer, 5.11 Tactical, Elbeco, Flying Cross, Safariland for tactical gear, leather holsters, and body armor carriers), sizing requirements from extra-small through 5XL including specialty tall and extended sizes, and delivery within 7 to 60 days depending on garment complexity and customization. Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida (multiple Hillsborough County, Okaloosa County, Palm Beach County, and St. Petersburg procurements), Georgia (DeKalb County, Gwinnett County, Clayton County, Richmond County, Hall County), Texas (multiple school districts and city systems), and scattered activity across Connecticut, Arizona, Mississippi, Kentucky, Oregon, Nevada, South Carolina, Colorado, and the District of Columbia.

Set-asides and preferences appear regularly: small business enterprise (SBE) weighting in Palm Beach County, local vendor preference in Louisville, Detroit-based business credits, and compliance with prevailing wage and Section 3 employment requirements where federal funding applies. Pricing is typically firm for year one with limited escalation allowed by CPI; delivery timelines are strict with liquidated damages ($50/day in Manchester, Connecticut examples) for delays. Online ordering, embroidery/screening capabilities, fitting services with alterations at no cost, and dedicated account management are now standard contractual expectations.
