NIGP 52070: Shoe Repair Supplies: Beading, Belting, Cleats, Elastic, Pads, Piping, etc.

NIGP 52070 Shoe Repair Supplies: Beading, Belting, Cleats, Elastic, Pads, Piping, Etc., an Item code, covers consumable and replacement materials used by shoe repair shops and facilities to refurbish footwear — including belting, elastic components, adhesive pads, cleats, piping trim, and beading stock. State and local procurement under this code remains thin; no recent state or local contract opportunities are documented in the available sourcing data. The code appears to serve niche demand from facilities departments and specialized repair operations rather than broad government procurement activity.

Without current solicitation activity to profile, the geographic distribution and typical issuing-body mix remain unclear. A review of state and local purchasing should focus on whether this code sees demand from correctional facilities, military installations with shoe repair capacity, or centralized facilities management offices that maintain repair services. If activity exists, it typically emerges through small RFQs or standing-order arrangements rather than large RFPs, making it difficult to track through public notice channels.
