UNSPSC 53102901: Womens athletic wear

UNSPSC 53102901 Women's athletic wear, a Commodity code, encompasses blank and decorated apparel — t-shirts, polos, jerseys, jackets, sweatshirts, and activewear — supplied to school districts, universities, public health agencies, and municipal departments for student-athlete uniforms, staff apparel, and operational needs. State and local buyers are actively procuring under this code through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that emphasize both product supply and customization services including screen printing, embroidery, patch attachment, and hemming. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with independent school districts in Texas (Temple ISD, Northside ISD, Birdville ISD, Harlingen CISD) and Georgia (Glynn County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District) posting the most recent opportunities. University athletic programs — Mt. San Antonio College, University of Mississippi, and University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio — and state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission also solicit regularly under the code. Municipal buyers appear less frequently but include the City of Phoenix (safety and non-safety uniforms for nine departments) and the City of Richardson (embroidered items).

The geographic spread spans Texas (nine opportunities), California, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Mississippi, and Arizona, with Texas showing the densest recent activity from May through September 2026. Representative opportunities include Temple ISD's multi-vendor RFP for apparel and accessories with custom screen printing and embroidery due October 6, 2026, covering t-shirts through athletic uniforms for 15 campuses; Glynn County School System's five-year RFP for exclusive athletic uniform and equipment supply across six schools due October 2, 2026; Birdville ISD's RFCSP for athletic equipment and uniforms across 31 campuses with estimated annual value of $867,443.31 due July 1, 2026; Texas HHSC's IFBs for blank apparel to state hospitals (Wichita Falls, Vernon) with historical annual spend of $80,000–$150,000 and contract terms September 1, 2026–August 31, 2027; Mt. SAC's RFP for athletic apparel, uniforms, and footwear to support 24 collegiate programs with estimated annual value of $100,000–$250,000 over three years (posted July 28, 2026, with May 18 response date already passed); and Gwinnett County's ITB for public safety uniforms across four departments due May 28, 2026. Vendors should note that buyers frequently structure awards as multi-vendor pools, evaluate on best value (price, delivery, customization capability, and quality), require detailed graphic specifications with Pantone color codes and precise embroidery or print placement, and bundle decoration services into unit pricing with FOB Destination and prepaid freight.
