UNSPSC 53121800: Travel kits and accessories

UNSPSC 53121800 Travel kits and accessories is a Class code covering portable equipment and supplies assembled for specific use cases, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited alignment with the nominal scope. The City of Richardson, Texas, posted an invitation to bid in May 2026 for three complete traveling sprinkler irrigation systems, each consisting of a hose reel unit with approximately 1,320 feet of polyethylene irrigation hose, a water-powered turbine-drive retraction unit, and a hydraulic sprinkler cart. This procurement reflects municipal capital equipment acquisition rather than consumable travel kits or accessories in the traditional sense. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal governments purchasing grounds maintenance and irrigation infrastructure, though the recent-opportunities block supports only a single representative solicitation and does not establish a pattern across jurisdictions or repeat buyers.

The City of Richardson ITB (Invitation to Bid No. 57-26) closed June 11, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held May 26, 2026. Bidders were required to register in SAM.gov with no debarment, provide three business references for similar equipment sales within the prior three years, and carry Commercial General Liability insurance ($1,000,000 combined single limit, $2,000,000 aggregate), Workers' Compensation, and Automobile Liability coverage. The equipment specification requires manufacturer's warranties of at least one year on parts and a minimum five-year prorated warranty on the polyethylene hose. Pricing was submitted on an F.O.B. destination basis to Richardson with all freight included; no specific budget or award value was disclosed. Texas represents the only state with identified recent activity under this code; geographic scope beyond Texas is not supported by the source.
