UNSPSC 53102902: Mens athletic wear

UNSPSC 53102902 Mens athletic wear is a Commodity code that covers the supply of undecorated athletic apparel, uniforms, and related clothing items for educational institutions, public agencies, and recreational programs. State and local governments procure blank t-shirts, polos, jerseys, hoodies, sweatshirts, and specialty activewear—often in bulk as blanks for subsequent decoration by in-house print shops or as finished uniforms for sports teams, athletic programs, and public-safety departments. Recent solicitations show demand spanning unbranded blanks for centralized decoration facilities, team uniforms with integrated embroidery and screen printing, and public-safety uniform systems with detailed customization specifications.

Issuing bodies include school districts (primary buyers for athletic uniforms and team apparel), state health and human services agencies, county school systems, cities and counties procuring uniforms for public safety and recreation departments, and public universities. Notable repeat activity appears from Texas school districts, including Temple Independent School District, Northside Independent School District, Birdville Independent School District, and Glynn County School System in Georgia. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, with secondary activity in California (Mt. San Antonio College, Los Angeles County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Ohio (Columbus area through university procurement), and scattered instances in Oregon, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include Temple Independent School District's RFP for multi-vendor apparel and accessories with custom screen printing and embroidery services (RFP00627, response due October 6, 2026); Glynn County School System's five-year exclusive athletic uniforms and equipment contract across six schools (RFP 27-06, due October 2, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's blanks procurement for Central Rehab Workshops (IFB HHS0017780, due August 11, 2026, estimated prior-year spend $80,000–$150,000); and Gwinnett County's annual public-safety uniforms contract with fitting and customization services (BL055-26, due May 28, 2026). Contract values where disclosed range from $80,000 to $867,443 annually for multi-year school district awards, with most solicitations structured as annual requirements with optional renewals and no guaranteed minimum volumes.
