UNSPSC 54101513: Tiepin

A pin used to prevent necktie from moving.

UNSPSC 54101513 Tiepin is a Commodity code covering decorative pins and similar fastened accessories, but state and local procurement activity under this code focuses on custom and commemorative jewelry pieces—championship rings, pendants, and costume jewelry items—rather than traditional tiepins or functional pinning devices. School districts and county governments solicit these items for athletic programs, special events, and gift-shop retail, typically through RFQ and IFB notices with master-agreement or single-award terms. Issuing bodies include independent school districts purchasing championship rings for athletic programs and county government entities procuring retail merchandise or special-occasion jewelry. Vendors must be manufacturers, designers, or direct importers with proprietary inventory or exclusive private-label arrangements; distributors and resellers are generally ineligible. Specifications typically call for customization—engraved text, specific stone settings, material finishes, and housing dimensions—with firm pricing valid for 90 days or longer, FOB destination delivery, and one-year product warranties.

Volusia County, Florida and Fulton County Schools, Georgia have posted recent opportunities under this code. Volusia County issued IFB 26-B93JJ on July 6, 2026 for sea-life-inspired costume jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, earrings) to stock the Marine Science Center Gift Shop, with proposals due August 12, 2026 and a three-year master agreement term with two optional one-year renewals; the solicitation included a 3% local preference for vendors with six months' presence in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, or Volusia County. Fulton County Schools issued RFQ 178-26 on January 22, 2026 for football championship rings and pendants for Creekside High School in Fairburn, Georgia, with quotations due February 5, 2026, requiring vendor compliance with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act and submission of three local corporate references with at least two years' service history. Geographic activity centers in Florida and Georgia; the code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume overall.
