UNSPSC 46181610: Insulated cold weather shoe

A pair of shoes that is worn during the winter. It is made by using fiber or leather that has less thermal conduction and larger air contents.

UNSPSC 46181610 Insulated cold weather shoe (Commodity) sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include golf course retail merchandise, protective footwear for municipal employees, uniforms and apparel for city staff, athletic apparel and footwear for college athletics, and school district athletic and strength-and-conditioning supplies. Of these, only the City of Fort Worth's protective footwear RFP and the Fulton County golf course retail merchandise IFB squarely fit the footwear commodity, while the remainder span broader apparel and equipment bundles where footwear appears as one line item among many. The Fort Worth opportunity explicitly names footwear types—asphalt, electrical hazard, orthopedic, restaurant-type, static dissipative, and waterproof—all meeting ANSI and OSHA standards; the vendor must maintain stock, provide fitting sessions, operate mobile repair and polishing services, and meet historical annual spend averaging $145,000. Most other opportunities bundle footwear with apparel, uniforms, or broader athletic equipment rather than isolating cold weather or insulated shoe procurement.

Issuing bodies are mixed and include cities (Fort Worth, Waxahachie, Atlanta), a county (Fulton County, Georgia), a community college district (Mt. San Antonio College, California), and independent school districts (Cirrus Academy Charter School, Birdville ISD, Harlingen CISD). Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Fort Worth, Waxahachie, North Richland Hills, Harlingen) and Georgia (Fulton County, Atlanta), with one significant California opportunity. The City of Fort Worth RFP for protective footwear closed October 8, 2026, with best-value evaluation weighting cost at 30 points and small business participation at 20 points, firm-fixed unit pricing, a 30% small-business goal for Tarrant County–area vendors, and an initial one-year term with four one-year renewal options. Mt. San Antonio College's athletic apparel and footwear RFP for 24 sports programs, due May 18, 2026, sought pricing as percentage discounts off MSRP across six categories including team footwear, with estimated annual spend between $100,000 and $250,000 over three years. The code shows no dominant repeat buyer and activity is episodic rather than continuous.
