UNSPSC 46181612: Military boot

An army boot that is produced to be worn by military or police officers during the combat, training or similar time. It is also referred to as walker, army shoes or combat shoes.

UNSPSC 46181612 Military boot is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit military and public safety footwear under this code, including protective boots meeting ASTM F2413-18 safety standards with steel or composite toe protection and slip-resistant soles, along with specialty variants such as fire boots and climbing boots for utility and public safety personnel. Recent opportunities span both direct apparel contracting (uniforms bundled with boots and accessories) and standalone footwear programs offering employees annual allowance vouchers to purchase safety footwear through vendor-operated mobile truck services, online portals, and retail channels. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (police departments), city utilities departments, public works departments, and community services departments. Clayton County Board of Commissioners and the City of Palo Alto represent repeat solicitation activity at the county and municipal level respectively.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and California. The Clayton County Police Department ITB #26-57 (issued June 15, 2026, due July 9, 2026) requires bids on public safety uniforms and accessories for approximately 500 police employees, with eligible vendors maintaining a local showroom within 45 miles of Jonesboro, Georgia, demonstrating five years of experience in public safety apparel, and committing to on-site measurement, embroidery, alterations, and 30-day delivery. The City of Palo Alto's Safety Footwear Program RFQ 197154 (issued May 12, 2026, due May 11, 2026) covers safety boots, walking shoes, fire boots, and climbing boots for Utilities, Public Works, and Community Services employees, with vendors required to provide mobile truck services at least twice yearly at two municipal facilities, online ordering and tracking portals, annual employee allowance vouchers up to $600 per fiscal year, and proper fitting and exchange services within 30 days. Both solicitations require comprehensive insurance (General Liability minimum $1 million per occurrence), workers' compensation coverage, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options.
