UNSPSC 53102904: Girls athletic wear

UNSPSC 53102904 Girls athletic wear is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of girls' and women's athletic apparel, uniforms, and related customization services across school districts, universities, and recreational entities. Recent solicitations show these buyers procuring complete athletic kits—jerseys, shorts, compression wear, footwear, and accessories—for multi-sport programs serving student-athletes at all competitive levels, alongside services such as embroidery, screen printing, and custom design work. The work spans both game-day uniforms and practice apparel, with vendors expected to hold inventory, manage sizing across extended ranges, provide dedicated account management, and deliver within tight lead times (often 10–30 days). School districts dominate the issuing bodies, particularly independent school districts in Texas and county school systems in Georgia, Mississippi, and other states; universities and community colleges also solicit regularly. Repeat buyers include large independent school districts such as Birdville ISD, Northside ISD, and Donna ISD, which issue multiple sport-specific RFPs or catalog bids annually, as well as state universities and smaller colleges pursuing multi-year apparel agreements.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas (Birdville, Northside, Donna, Los Fresnos, Magnolia, Fort Bend, Hillsborough County in Florida, DeKalb County in Georgia, and scattered activity across Mississippi, New Mexico, Utah, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Birdville Independent School District's RFCSP 002-27 for athletic equipment and supplies across 15 sports, due July 1, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $867,443.31; Mt. San Antonio College's RFP for athletic apparel, uniforms, and footwear for 24 collegiate sports, due May 18, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $100,000 to $250,000 annually; Jordan School District's RFP #26RM02P5 for exclusive athletic uniforms for Bingham High School at approximately $400,000 annually, due May 11, 2026; and Northside ISD's IFB 2026-073 for multi-sport athletic uniforms across ten sports, due May 14, 2026. Donna ISD issued over a dozen catalog-bid RFPs in March 2026 covering individual sports (football, soccer, baseball, volleyball, track, wrestling, golf, power lifting, cross country) and PE supplies, all due April 8, 2026. Contract structures typically run one to five years with renewal options, and many buyers explicitly reserve the right to award multiple vendors or split by line item to ensure competitive pricing and product diversity. Set-aside and preference programs vary by jurisdiction—some solicit under general state procurement rules with no stated preferences, while others incorporate local-vendor preferences or HUB compliance requirements as evaluation factors.
