UNSPSC 95122304: Sports hall

A building or structure that commemorates a certain sport

UNSPSC 95122304 Sports hall is a Commodity code that describes indoor and outdoor athletic facilities state and local governments are actually procuring through multipurpose sports complexes, aquatic centers, athletic centers, stadiums, and field houses. Recent solicitations show a mix of general construction, design-build delivery, and construction management at risk (CMAR) engagements that address the full lifecycle of sports and recreation infrastructure—from new construction through major renovation of existing facilities. The code spans issuing bodies including university systems (Texas A&M University-Texarkana, University of Texas at Austin, Fort Valley State University), city and county parks departments (Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation, City of Arlington, DeKalb County School District), transit authorities and special-purpose districts (Tampa Sports Authority), and independent school districts (Catoosa County Public Schools, Eastpointe Community Schools). State agencies and boards of regents regularly appear as procuring entities for higher-education athletic facilities. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central states—Florida, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, and Michigan dominate the recent opportunities, with secondary activity in California and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation Department's IFB for Phase 2 of the Southshore Sports Complex (August 11, 2026 response date, estimated base bid of $12.65 million for six synthetic turf fields with concessions and supporting infrastructure); Seminole County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for CMAR services on a new 161,000–178,500 gross square foot Indoor Sports Complex in Sanford, Florida (with 10 basketball courts, 22 volleyball courts, and 25 outdoor sand volleyball courts); and the University of Texas at Austin's concurrent RFPs for CMAR services on two major athletic facility renovations—the Disch-Falk Field and J. Dan Brown Player Performance Center, and the Red & Charline McCombs Softball Stadium (both with $9.4 million Construction Cost Limitations, April 20, 2026 proposal due dates). Tarleton State University's RFP for a Softball-Baseball Concourse general construction project (August 20, 2026 response date) and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for Olympic Cauldron relocation and installation at Centennial Olympic Park (July 13, 2026 response date) illustrate the range of scope, from field-level work to signature venue renovation. All recent opportunities consistently require bonding, insurance compliance, and adherence to prevailing wage standards where applicable; several carry HUB, SBE, or VetHUB subcontracting plan requirements.

Recent activity underscores sustained state and local investment in competitive athletic infrastructure, spectator and community amenities, and multi-use sports venues. Design-build and CMAR delivery methods dominate higher-value opportunities ($5 million and above), particularly for new facilities or major system upgrades; traditional design-bid-build is common for field and turf replacement projects and smaller construction scopes. Pre-bid site visits and mandatory pre-proposal conferences appear standard across most RFPs and ITBs. Evaluation criteria favor construction safety and risk management capability, past performance on comparable projects, team qualifications, budget and schedule control, and current construction methodologies—especially for CMAR selections. The code shows no signs of contraction; multiple concurrent awards in the same jurisdiction (notably DeKalb County, Georgia and the University of Texas at Austin system) indicate pipeline depth and repeat procurement activity from established buyers. Contractors pursuing this code benefit from early engagement through pre-bid meetings, compliance with state-specific labor and immigration requirements (E-Verify, prevailing wage, security and immigration compliance affidavits), and demonstrated expertise in athletic facility typologies—competitive tracks, multipurpose halls, aquatic centers, and field infrastructure.
