UNSPSC 53121801: Travel kits

UNSPSC 53121801 Travel kits is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized equipment bundles and systems rather than discrete packaged kits. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code covers complete traveling irrigation systems including hose reels, polyethylene hose, retraction units with water-powered drives, and sprinkler carts with hydraulic components — bundled as integrated packages for grounds maintenance and irrigation work. State and local governments use this code to procure field-ready equipment sets where the functional integration of components matters more than individual items. Issuing bodies range across municipalities and water management departments; the City of Richardson, Texas represents the kinds of smaller to mid-sized cities that solicit under the code for grounds and parks maintenance infrastructure.

The City of Richardson's Invitation to Bid No. 57-26, posted May 19, 2026, with a June 11, 2026 response deadline, exemplifies current activity under the code. The city is purchasing three complete traveling sprinkler irrigation systems, each consisting of a hose reel unit with approximately 1,320 feet of black polyethylene irrigation hose, a water-powered turbine-driven retraction unit, and a hydraulically operated sprinkler cart. Bidders must be SAM.gov-registered and provide three business references demonstrating similar equipment sales within the past three years. The equipment carries minimum one-year manufacturer warranty on all parts and five-year prorated warranty on the polyethylene hose. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held May 26, 2026 via Zoom, with written clarifications due May 29 and sealed bids due June 11 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. No specific budget or award value was disclosed. The City permits cooperative purchasing by other governmental entities under identical terms when authorized. Recent activity under the code appears limited to Texas-based municipal procurement at this time.
