NIGP 20036: Infant Apparel (Including Booties and Shoes)

NIGP 20036 Infant Apparel (Including Booties And Shoes) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure clothing and footwear for infants — including bodysuits, onesies, sleepwear, and soft shoes — typically for social-services programs, child-welfare agencies, emergency shelters, and institutional care facilities. The code covers standard retail infant garments in a range of sizes and seasonal weights, often sourced in bulk to support populations including foster children, children in temporary custody, infants in institutional settings, and vulnerable populations served by welfare departments. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, county social-services offices, city child-protective-services units, and specialized facilities such as hospitals with NICU programs and residential treatment centers for children. Procurement vehicles include standard RFP, RFQ, IFB, and cooperative purchasing agreements through state purchasing consortia.

The source provided contains no recent state and local solicitation activity under NIGP 20036. Without posted opportunities in the most-recent-opportunities block, no geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative contract details can be drawn. This absence itself is a signal — infant apparel procurement at state and local level either occurs through standing contracts, nonprofit donations, or general-merchandise vendors rather than through discrete competitive solicitations tracked in public notice systems.
