NIGP 80032: House Shoes and Slippers, All Types

NIGP 80032 House Shoes And Slippers, All Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure footwear and related protective gear for vulnerable populations and emergency response programs. The City of Phoenix Finance Department's recent five-year heat relief supplies contract (IFB-26-0046) illustrates the scope: the solicitation includes 1,000 pairs of shoes alongside dog shoes, compression socks, and other specialized protective items distributed to over 60 City locations and regional heat relief network sites serving vulnerable populations. State and local buyers under this code include municipal finance and procurement departments managing emergency preparedness, public health, and social services programs. The footwear and related items are typically procured as part of broader relief, wellness, or emergency supplies packages rather than as standalone apparel contracts, often bundled with hydration, cooling, and outdoor equipment.

The City of Phoenix represents the most recent documented activity under the code, with an IFB posted in November 2025 targeting a February 2026 contract start. The procurement required sealed offers by December 12, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-offer conference held December 1, 2025, and written inquiry deadline of December 5, 2025. Contractors must register in the City's procurePHX system, maintain minimum stock levels, provide 48-hour delivery during business hours, and carry $2,000,000 general aggregate liability insurance. Pricing is firm and fixed for the initial two years, with potential annual increases requiring 60 days' notice and supporting documentation. Payment terms are net 45 days in arrears. All supplies must be new and meet industry standards with a minimum five-year warranty.
