NIGP 52047: Lining, Base (Used in Shoe Manufacturing)

NIGP 52047 Lining, Base (Used In Shoe Manufacturing), an Item code, covers base lining materials and components used in footwear production — materials state and local governments procure when they stock shoe inventories for uniform, occupational-safety, or institutional-wear programs. The scope typically includes fabric linings, support materials, and base-layer components integrated into shoes during manufacturing. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include corrections departments (which purchase shoes for inmate populations and staff), law enforcement agencies (for uniform boots and duty footwear), and occasionally school districts or special-purpose uniform-supply consortia that manage bulk footwear procurement for security or maintenance personnel.

No recent state or local contract opportunities appear in the available record for this Item code. The absence of posted solicitations suggests either minimal current procurement activity at the state and local level under this specific NIGP classification, or consolidation of shoe-lining procurement under higher-level footwear or apparel codes. Firms targeting this code should monitor corrections and law enforcement procurement offices for periodic footwear RFPs and IFBs, which often bundle lining specifications within broader shoe or protective-equipment solicitations rather than as standalone commodity notices.
