UNSPSC 53121701: Briefcases

UNSPSC 53121701 Briefcases is a Commodity code that encompasses tactical equipment carriers and embroidered operational items procured by state and local government. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers purchasing tactical duffle bags and embroidered items for departmental and operational use. The work involves design, production, and delivery of specialized carrying equipment and branded operational merchandise to support ongoing government needs. Issuing bodies include municipal governments and cities that source these items through both micro purchases and longer-term annual requirements contracts, typically following a best value or lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder procurement methodology.

Activity under the code appears geographically dispersed but recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas. The City of Pennsylvania posted a tactical duffle bag micro purchase (Solicitation B2727668, due August 14, 2026) for lowest-price award on an all-or-nothing or line-item basis, while the City of Richardson solicited competitive bids for an annual requirements contract for embroidered items (Solicitation 5526, due June 16, 2026) under best value evaluation, requiring vendors to demonstrate embroidery experience, provide five professional references, and submit detailed pricing and compliance documentation. The Richardson procurement emphasizes ongoing annual volume with flexibility in ordering based on departmental needs, whereas the Pennsylvania opportunity structures the award to the City's discretion across single or multiple vendors.
