NIGP 52081: Stretchers, Shoe/Boot

NIGP 52081 Stretchers, Shoe/Boot is an Item code that covers manual and mechanical devices designed to expand, shape, and preserve footwear during storage and between wear cycles. State and local governments procure these stretchers for use in correctional facilities, law enforcement training academies, military installations, athletic departments, and facilities management programs where footwear inventory must be maintained in serviceable condition. The devices range from simple wooden or plastic two-way stretchers to adjustable and specialty stretchers designed for specific boot or shoe types. Issuing bodies typically include state corrections departments, municipal police academies, county sheriff's offices, state and local parks departments, and school districts with athletic or vocational programs.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 52081 are present in the source data. This code appears to see minimal procurement activity in the tracked state and local solicitation environment, suggesting either low baseline demand, purchases made through existing cooperative agreements or GSA schedules, or acquisition of stretchers as subordinate line items within larger facility-equipment or uniform-supply contracts rather than as standalone solicitations.
