UNSPSC 57060401: Tent, for multipurpose use

To improve the response time and effectiveness of the UNHRD Rapid Response Team, a fully equipped office kit and accommodation plan must be provided. This kit must accommodate 12 staff members for a period of 3 months in various climates. Since emergency areas are sporadic and unknown, the custom kit must be able to withstand harsh conditions such as sunlight exposure, extreme heat, heavy wind and rain and wet ground conditions.

UNSPSC 57060401 Tent, for multipurpose use (Commodity) covers temporary fabric structures—aluminum-frame tents with PVC-coated polyester fabrics, rapid-deployment shelter systems, and VIP event enclosures—that state and local governments procure for emergency response, disaster support, event management, and specialized rescue operations. Recent opportunities show a mix of community colleges, county emergency management divisions, and specialized public agencies soliciting these structures through RFPs and RFQs, often for immediate or near-term deployment with detailed engineering and installation requirements.

Activity spans California, Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with recent opportunities including Mt. San Antonio Community College District's RFQ for a 25-meter by 30-meter tension fabric tent with aluminum framework and PVC fabric for Parking Lot M (response deadline July 6, 2026); Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for a temporary 12.5-meter by 30-meter VIP structure with glass walls for the FIFA Fan Festival at Centennial Olympic Park (response deadline March 30, 2026); Hillsborough County, Florida's sole-source procurement of ASAP modular shelter tents from DLX Enterprises for Urban Search and Rescue operations (approximately $80,670); and Collier County, Florida's RFP for major incident standby services establishing a pool of contractors to supply temporary structures, shelters, and emergency equipment with a 12-hour mobilization requirement and annual historical spend around $1.2 million. The code also captures niche opportunities such as tactical backpacks and specialized climbing equipment, indicating some misclassification within the source data; the core tent procurement activity centers on emergency management, disaster response, event hosting, and educational facilities seeking durable, engineered structures with rapid installation timelines and performance specifications for sustained wind loads and temperature extremes.
