NIGP 52028: Heels, Leather and Wood

NIGP 52028 Heels, Leather and Wood, an Item code, addresses specialized footwear components and materials procured by state and local governments for uniform, occupational, and facility-maintenance purposes. State and local buyers under this code source replacement heels — leather and wood construction — for work boots, safety footwear, and occupational shoes worn by law enforcement, custodial, grounds, and warehouse personnel. The code also covers raw materials and pre-fabricated heel stock for footwear repair and reconditioning programs operated by corrections departments, public works facilities, and school district central services. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, transportation, and public safety; county sheriffs' offices and facilities management; municipal police and public works departments; and school districts with in-house shoe repair or uniform reconditioning operations.

The source provided does not contain recent state or local contract opportunities under NIGP 52028, making it impossible to characterize current geographic concentration, identify repeat buyers, or name representative active solicitations. This code sees minimal procurement activity in the public records available and merits a watch rather than an active pursue stance unless a specific issuing body has signaled interest in this category through pre-bid outreach or prior procurement history.
