UNSPSC 53103004: Childrens tshirts

Tshirts sized and intended for use by or for child of either gender.

UNSPSC 53103004 Children's t-shirts is a Commodity code covering blank and decorated youth apparel that state and local governments—primarily school districts—purchase for student uniforms, spirit wear, and promotional merchandise. The work solicited under this code includes supply of plain t-shirts in various sizes, custom decoration services such as screen printing and embroidery, and related apparel categories including polos, hats, jackets, and sweatshirts. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts managing procurement for multiple campuses; these districts typically establish multi-vendor contracts with online catalogs, tiered pricing, and customization capabilities rather than single-vendor awards.

Recent activity centers in Texas, where Temple Independent School District (TISD) posted RFP 006-27 for apparel and accessories with custom screen printing and embroidery services (due October 6, 2026), and Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD) posted solicitations for spirit apparel and promotional items (26072040RFP, due June 30, 2027, and 25072040RFP, due June 30, 2026). The TISD solicitation exemplifies current scope: a multi-vendor contract covering 15 campuses and approximately 8,700 students, with vendors required to provide online ordering, published pricing with consistent discounts, turnaround times for blank and decorated apparel including rush services, three references, and insurance certificates. Contract terms run one year from Board approval with two optional one-year renewals; the district reserves Best Value award authority across single vendor, multiple vendors, or line-item splits, with evaluation weighted on price, product availability, quality, delivery time, customization capability, and prior performance. No minimum purchase volume is guaranteed, and all freight costs are vendor-prepaid with FOB Destination delivery to multiple locations.
