UNSPSC 90141703: Youth sports

UNSPSC 90141703 Youth sports (Commodity) encompasses state and local government procurement of youth athletic programming, officials, equipment, facility operations, and instructional services, as evidenced by recent solicitations for athletic trainers, officiating assignor services, sports equipment and supplies, facility management, and specialized coaching. State and local issuers soliciting under this code span independent school districts, county recreation departments, municipal parks divisions, city purchasing offices, charter schools, county colleges, and universities. School districts dominate the activity, including Dysart Unified School District (Arizona), Birdville Independent School District (Texas), and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (Texas); county and municipal recreation authorities such as Greenville County (South Carolina), Hays County (Texas), Chatham County (Georgia), and the City of Orlando (Florida) are also active repeat buyers seeking officiating assignor services and sports programming operators.

Recent solicitations reflect sustained demand across four primary work streams: (1) officiating and assignor services for youth and adult league games and tournaments—Greenville County issued back-to-back RFPs for officiating assignors in March and May 2026, and the City of Orlando solicited basketball and football officiating services (RFP26109, due June 4, 2026); (2) athletic equipment, supplies, and apparel for multiple sports—Birdville ISD estimated annual spending of $867,443.31 for athletic equipment and services across 15 sports programs (RFCSP 002-27, due July 1, 2026), and Los Fresnos ISD sought PE and athletic equipment vendors (RFP #26-27-01, due March 24, 2026); (3) facility operations and concessions—Hays County sought a league provider and operator for an 18-acre sportsplex (RFP 2026-P15, due July 20, 2026), the Town of Mooresville sought a stadium lessee (RFP due June 17, 2026), and the City of Albuquerque solicited golf course clubhouse concessions (RFP-2025-737, due February 21, 2026); and (4) specialized athletic services including certified athletic trainers (City Colleges of Chicago, WM2608, due July 15, 2026 with $315,000 estimated annual value), swim meet scoring and timing (Georgia Tech, IFB 2026-IFB-SERVS-0050, due May 7, 2026), and racquet sport programming (Chatham County, RFP 26-0019-2, due March 13, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Arizona, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Illinois, with the most recent high-velocity postings occurring in July 2026. School districts and county recreation systems are the primary issuing bodies; many solicitations carry local vendor preferences, HUB or M/WBE participation goals, and multi-year terms with renewal options.
