NIGP 52026: Heel Fillers, Grippers, Liners, Scaphoid Pads, etc.

NIGP 52026 Heel Fillers, Grippers, Liners, Scaphoid Pads, Etc., an Item code, covers orthopedic and comfort footwear accessories that state and local governments procure for employee safety programs, corrections facilities, healthcare operations, and public-safety personnel. These products include heel grippers and fillers designed to prevent slipping and reduce foot fatigue, arch-support liners, scaphoid pads for foot alignment, and related insert and padding materials that address occupational foot strain and injury prevention. State and local purchasing offices source these items through general supplies contracts, footwear and personal protective equipment (PPE) standing offers, and health-services agreements supporting employee wellness and inmate care programs.

No recent state or local contract opportunities appear in available procurement records for this Item code. The absence of recent solicitations suggests either stable pricing under existing master agreements, infrequent standalone procurement cycles for these accessories, or consolidation into broader PPE or footwear bundles that do not isolate this component in public notices. Firms tracking this code should monitor upcoming health-services, corrections, and safety-equipment RFPs and cooperative purchasing vehicle updates, particularly in states with large corrections or public-safety workforces where foot-comfort accessories are routine line items within broader occupational-health contracts.
