NIGP 80086: Shoes and Boots, Work, Men's

NIGP 80086 Shoes And Boots, Work, Men's is an Item code under which state and local governments procure work footwear and safety boots for public-safety and utility workforces. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing men's work shoes and boots as part of broader public-safety uniform programs and dedicated employee safety footwear initiatives. Clayton County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued ITB #26-57 in June 2026 for public safety uniforms encompassing boots and footwear for approximately 500 police officers, with the awardee required to maintain local showroom capacity and provide on-site measurement and alteration services. The City of Palo Alto Utilities Department issued an RFQ in May 2026 for a Safety Footwear Program supplying ASTM F2413-18 compliant safety boots, walking shoes with ankle support and slip-resistant soles, and specialty boots for fire and line personnel across three municipal departments. These procurements signal demand from county police departments and city utilities and public-works functions for vendor-provided footwear supply, fitting, and ongoing management services rather than one-time commodity purchases.

Issuing bodies under this code include county government (Clayton County Board of Commissioners) and city utilities and public-works departments (City of Palo Alto). The Georgia procurement is anchored to the Atlanta metropolitan area, while the California RFQ covers Palo Alto. Clayton County's ITB #26-57 closed July 9, 2026, and required bidders to maintain a local showroom within 45 miles of Jonesboro, Georgia with a minimum five years of public-safety uniform experience; a non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held June 18, 2026. The City of Palo Alto's RFQ closed May 11, 2026, and awarded contracts based on the highest percentage discount off manufacturer catalog prices, with the winning vendor receiving a three-year initial term and optional two-year extension; the City reserved the right to make multiple awards if bids tied. Both procurements required comprehensive commercial liability and workers' compensation insurance. Recent activity under this code is limited; the two opportunities posted in the May-to-July 2026 window represent the current sourcing visibility available.
