UNSPSC 53102717 Sport Uniform is a Commodity code covering the purchase and customization of uniforms across athletic, law enforcement, fire/rescue, corrections, and administrative personnel categories. State and local governments are actively buying sport uniforms, band uniforms, police and fire uniforms, school safety gear, fine arts uniforms, and employee apparel with embroidery, screen printing, emblem attachment, and tailoring services bundled into most solicitations. Issuing bodies span county sheriff's offices, municipal police and fire departments, independent school districts, county board of education systems, transit authorities, county corrections departments, water utilities, and state procurement offices. Recent activity shows repeat buyers including multiple Palm Beach County and St. Petersburg Florida city agencies, Texas school districts (Northside Independent School District, Temple ISD, Fontana Unified), Georgia county governments (Clayton County, Gwinnett County, Henry County, DeKalb County), and state facilities commissions. The scope of work typically includes blank apparel (shirts, trousers, jackets, caps, footwear in multiple sizes and styles), customization labor (embroidery, screen printing, patch and insignia attachment), alterations and tailoring, web-based employee ordering portals with inventory tracking and allowance management, and delivery to consolidated warehouses or multiple department locations. Vendors commonly must provide on-site measuring services, maintain minimum 30-day inventory, offer 24/7 online ordering, and deliver within 7 to 45 days depending on item type and customization.

Geographic concentration leans heavily toward the Southeast (Georgia counties, South Carolina, Florida cities and counties) and Texas school districts and municipalities, with secondary activity in the upper Midwest (Maine state police), Pacific Southwest (California school districts), and Northeast (Connecticut, New Jersey municipalities). Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County, Florida soliciting uniforms and protective clothing for the Pet Resources Department under ITQ-27-00013 (RFQ, due Nov 2, 2026, estimated $38,141 over two years); Texas A&M Forest Service requesting proposals for uniforms serving over 500 employees under RFP-27003 (RFP, due Nov 3, 2026, anticipated annual award exceeding $100,000); Fontana Unified School District (California) requesting sealed bids for band uniforms (IFB, due Nov 6, 2026); Henry County, Georgia Police Department uniforms under BID 27-13 (ITB, due Sep 24, 2026, with local-vendor preference); Temple Independent School District Texas apparel and screen printing under RFP 006-27 (RFP, due Oct 6, 2026); Lincoln County School District (Mississippi) band uniforms with single-source Xtreme Dri fabric mandate (sealed bid, due Sep 7, 2026); and City of St. Petersburg police and fire uniforms under IFB-26-301 (IFB, 590 line items, due Aug 25, 2026, commencing Jan 1, 2027 for three years). Contracts are structured as annual, two-year, three-year, or five-year terms with one to four optional renewal periods. Award criteria commonly weigh price (15–40 points), experience and qualifications (10–20 points), online ordering and inventory systems (15–20 points), service delivery capability (10–25 points), and quality assurance. State and local governments are increasingly mandating web-based portals, SBE/MBE participation or good-faith efforts documentation, E-Verify compliance, and performance bonds ranging from 5 to 100 percent of bid value, with liability insurance minimums of $1 million general liability per occurrence and $2 million aggregate standard across most jurisdictions.
