UNSPSC 46181611: Waterproof boot

A shoe that comes up to the knees for not having the feet submerged into water at the time of training or working. The material uses mainly natural rubber and synthetic rubber, and in order to protect the toes, the steel caps are inserted to make it.

UNSPSC 46181611 Waterproof boot (Commodity) covers protective footwear for occupational and recreational use, but the recent state and local solicitations tied to this code show mixed relevance—the code appears most directly applicable to occupational protective footwear, while several recent opportunities reflect broader apparel and equipment procurement that only partially align. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 260305 (posted September 16, 2026, due October 8, 2026) most clearly matches the code scope, soliciting protective footwear including asphalt, electrical hazard, orthopedic, restaurant-type, static dissipative, and waterproof varieties meeting ANSI and OSHA standards for city department use, with a historical annual spend averaging $145,000. Other recent opportunities tagged to this code diverge substantially: Fulton County, Georgia's IFB for golf course retail merchandise and the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation's IFB for golf course retail goods include footwear as one component of a broader golf apparel and equipment catalog, while Mt. San Antonio College's RFP and multiple school district solicitations for athletic apparel, uniforms, and equipment include footwear as a subcategory rather than the primary focus. Issuing bodies span counties (Fulton County, Georgia), cities (Fort Worth, Atlanta, Waxahachie), school districts (Birdville Independent School District, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District), and community college districts (Mt. San Antonio College), reflecting typical state and local footwear procurement patterns across occupational safety, parks and recreation, and education sectors.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Fort Worth protective footwear RFP represents the clearest occupational safety footwear opportunity, emphasizing ANSI/OSHA compliance, mobile fitting and repair services, and a 30% small business participation goal. The City of Atlanta's golf course merchandise IFB (pre-solicitation notice posted June 18, 2026, due July 23, 2026) indicates footwear as retail golf shoe inventory across four municipal courses with a $500,000 annual retail budget and multiple vendor awards by product category. Birdville Independent School District's RFCSP 002-27 (posted July 1, 2026, due July 1, 2026) and Mt. San Antonio College's RFP 2026061 (posted July 28, 2026, due May 18, 2026—note the date discrepancy in source) include footwear within athletic equipment and apparel bundles serving student-athlete programs. The concentration of recent opportunities in Texas school districts and Georgia municipalities suggests moderate activity in these jurisdictions, though the divergence between occupational protective footwear and retail/athletic footwear categories signals that code users should verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 46181611.
