UNSPSC 53111901: Mens athletic footwear

UNSPSC 53111901 Mens athletic footwear is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans considerably broader athletic footwear and apparel bundles than the code name alone suggests. School districts, colleges, municipalities, and independent public entities are using this code to tag opportunities for athletic uniforms, apparel, footwear, equipment, and supplies across multiple sports programs, often bundled with related athletic goods and services. The code captures district-wide athletic sourcing for sport-specific uniforms and gear—basketball, football, baseball, soccer, track, wrestling, cross country, and others—as well as general physical education supplies, strength and conditioning equipment, and athletic trainer services. Recent solicitations show school districts awarding multiple vendors on as-needed, catalog-discount bases to achieve pricing flexibility across product categories; higher-education institutions (community colleges, universities) seeking single-supplier apparel partnerships with branded manufacturers such as Adidas or Under Armour; and municipalities procuring retail golf merchandise, athletic facility equipment, and employee safety footwear. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Birdville, Harlingen, Donna, Los Fresnos, Jordan School District), community colleges (Mt. San Antonio College), universities (Georgia Southern), county and municipal government (City of Atlanta, City of Fort Worth, City of Phoenix), and charter schools (Cirrus Academy). School districts and educational institutions dominate the recent-opportunity block, with Texas jurisdictions—Birdville ISD, Harlingen CISD, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD—posting multiple catalog-bid RFPs for sport-specific equipment and supplies in March and April 2026.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas (Harlingen, Donna, Birdville, Los Fresnos, and Jordan School District in Utah with Bingham High School), California (Mt. San Antonio College), Georgia (Georgia Southern University, City of Atlanta), Arizona (City of Phoenix), and select other states. Representative recent opportunities include Birdville Independent School District's RFCSP for Athletic Equipment, Supplies and Related Services posted July 1, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $867,443.31 spanning 15 sports and three athletic facilities across 31 campuses and serving 24,300 students; Mt. San Antonio College's RFP posted May 5, 2026, due May 18, 2026, for athletic apparel, uniforms, footwear, and kinesiology supplies across 24 collegiate programs with an estimated annual value of $100,000 to $250,000; and Donna Independent School District's six separate catalog-bid RFPs (basketball, baseball, cross country, tennis, wrestling, physical education supplies) posted March 21, 2026, all due April 8, 2026, targeting multi-vendor awards for as-needed purchasing. Jordan School District's RFP 26RM02P5 for Bingham High School athletic uniforms and apparel, posted April 20, 2026, due May 11, 2026, reflects an annual spend of approximately $400,000 with a preference for Under Armour but openness to Nike or Adidas equivalents. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0140 for safety footwear posted April 22, 2026, due May 14, 2026, targets on-demand supply to municipal departments with a 30 percent Small Business participation goal and best-value evaluation weighting cost at 15 points and ability to provide mobile fitting services at 25 points.
