UNSPSC 53102903: Boys athletic wear

UNSPSC 53102903 Boys athletic wear, a Commodity code, encompasses blank apparel and decorated uniforms, team gear, and athletic accessories that state and local governments procure for school districts, state agencies, and public institutions serving student-athletes, recreational participants, and workforce programs. Recent solicitations show districts and agencies sourcing t-shirts, polos, jerseys, shorts, jackets, sweatshirts, and hats—both undecorated blanks and fully customized items with screen printing, embroidery, and specialized graphics—alongside tailoring, fitting, and related services. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including independent school districts in Texas (Temple ISD, Birdville ISD, Northside ISD, Harlingen CISD), county school systems (Glynn County School System in Georgia, DeKalb County in Georgia), and parks and recreation programs (North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District in Oregon). State agencies also buy under this code: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures blank apparel for rehabilitation workshops, and the University of Texas Health Science Center and University of Mississippi source athletic and branded apparel. City procurement also appears (City of Phoenix, City of Philadelphia, City of Richardson), as does a community college (Mt. San Antonio College).

Activity concentrates in Texas, with recent IFBs and RFPs from Texas A&M University (TEEXITB26084, due September 15, 2026), Temple ISD (RFP00627, due October 6, 2026), Birdville ISD (RFCSP 002-27, due July 1, 2026, estimated annual value $867,443.31), Northside ISD (IFB2026097, due September 3, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017780 for Wichita Falls State Hospital with historical FY 2025 spend of $80,000–$150,000, and HHS0017725 for North Texas State Hospital with similar FY 2025 spend). Georgia shows activity through Glynn County School System (RFP 27-06 for a five-year athletic uniform contract, due October 2, 2026) and Gwinnett County (BL055-26 for public safety uniforms, due May 28, 2026). Oregon, California, Mississippi, and Arizona round out recent geography. Representative opportunities include Glynn County's five-year exclusive athletic uniform supply (RFP 27-06, July 1, 2027–June 30, 2032 term), Mt. San Antonio College's three-year RFP for athletic apparel and uniforms supporting 24 sports programs and over 800 student-athletes (estimated annual value $100,000–$250,000, contract start July 1, 2026), and Birdville ISD's procurement across 31 campuses and 15 sports programs with evaluation criteria weighted 55 percent on price and associated costs. Multi-vendor awards and best-value evaluation predominate; most districts reserve the right to split awards or award by line item.
