CPV 184 – Special Clothing and Accessories

CPV 184 covers public tenders for special clothing such as uniforms and ceremonial dress. Find relevant contracts with Bond.

What does CPV 184 cover?

CPV group 184 (18400000) covers public contracts for special clothing and accessories – uniforms, official ceremonial dress, costumes for special occasions, sportswear, swimwear, stage and theatrical costumes, and other specialised clothing intended for specific professional roles or situations. The group covers clothing with a particular identification or representative character.

In the public sector, uniforms and official dress are the dominant procurement items: judicial robes for courts, ceremonial dress for commemorative events, sportswear for public sports facilities and swimming pools, and theatrical costumes for municipal theatres. Specialised clothing for public ceremonies and state functions is also procured under CPV 184.

Within CPV division 18, group 184 is distinguished from group 181 (protective clothing) by the absence of a primary protective function. It differs from group 182 (outerwear) by the special or representative character of the clothing, and from group 183 by the specific purpose (office, sport, ceremony) of the garments. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
