UNSPSC 53141610: Fabric or tailors chalk holders

UNSPSC 53141610 Fabric or tailors chalk holders is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—City of Phoenix RFQ-26-0058 for battle dress uniforms, fatigue t-shirts, Velcro name tags, gear bags, and embroidered hats issued March 26, 2026—involves tactical and protective apparel and headwear procurement for the Phoenix Fire Department's Arizona Task Force 1 Urban Search and Rescue program, not fabric or tailors chalk holders. The solicitation required response by April 16, 2026, and specifies annual quantities of 220 BDU pants and jackets, 220 t-shirts (short and long sleeve), 165 sweatshirts, waterproof outerwear, and 120 to 220 units of headwear with professional-grade durability, UV resistance, heat tolerance, and colorfast properties suited to Arizona's extreme environmental conditions. The code shows no recent activity in its nominal scope of tailoring chalk holders or related fabrication tools.

The Phoenix Fire Department RFQ is the only recent state or local procurement identified under this Commodity code. The contract is a five-year non-exclusive agreement with a June 27, 2026 commencement contingent on City Council award and City Clerk recording, firm and fixed pricing for the initial two years, and thereafter annual price increases subject to 60 days' written notice. Offerors were required to provide vendor questionnaires, years-in-business references, debarment certification, conflict-of-interest disclosure, heat safety compliance documentation, and post-award certificates of insurance with $2 million commercial general liability and $1 million automobile liability minimums. Award notices triggered 14 calendar days to submit insurance documentation. The mismatch between the code's definition and the RFQ's scope indicates either a coding error in the state or local procurement system or minimal actual buying activity under UNSPSC 53141610 for its stated product category.
