UNSPSC 46181607: Protective clogs

Workplace footwear made of hard materials to protect feet from punctures or other floor threats.

UNSPSC 46181607 Protective clogs, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual recent state and local procurement activity. While the code nominally describes protective footwear, the posted opportunities under this classification span medical supplies, rescue equipment, uniforms, safety apparel, and chemical warmers—categories that diverge substantially from protective clogs as a discrete product line. The issuing bodies include county health departments, cooperative purchasing alliances, cities, transit authorities, and school districts across multiple states, but none of the recent solicitations explicitly target protective clogs as a standalone line item or specify this footwear type in their scope.

The most recent activity tagged to this code includes Seminole County, Florida procuring naloxone and drug deactivation systems (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023); the Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance requesting full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors (RFP S1070000017226, due July 20, 2026); the City of Dallas seeking hip boots and rain suits for flood operations (IFB IFSDWUB3200002, due June 4, 2026); and Sarasota County, Florida issuing a Quick Quote for water rescue equipment including dry suits and storm boots (2026QQ688, due May 22, 2026). Additional opportunities include the City of Owensboro procuring fire department uniforms and leather goods (RFB 4473, due May 22, 2026); the Town of Palm Beach soliciting general safety items and accessories (RFB RFBNO2026032, due May 4, 2026); the Phoenix Fire Department acquiring battle dress uniforms and tactical gear (RFQ 26-0058, due April 16, 2026); and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posting five separate urgent procurements for IceTrekkers footwear in various sizes and chemical warmers (January 27–29, 2026). The code shows activity concentrated in Florida, Texas, and Arizona, with scattered procurement across other states through cooperative vehicles like MMCAP. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the breadth of products actually solicited suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code functions as a catch-all for protective and occupational footwear within broader PPE and safety equipment frameworks rather than serving as a targeted procurement category for protective clogs specifically.
