UNSPSC 53101805: Infants coats or jackets

UNSPSC 53101805 Infants coats or jackets is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrower scope than its title suggests — state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring broader infant and child wellness supplies, safe sleep equipment, and heat-relief apparel rather than coats and jackets alone. Recent activity shows municipalities issuing IFBs and RFQs for curated bundles of infant safety gear (portable cribs, car seats, wearable blankets, fitted sheets), educational materials, and heat-mitigation clothing and accessories (hats, cooling towels, compression socks, shoes) as part of maternal health, child welfare, and public health resilience programs. The issuing bodies are city-level health departments and procurement offices acting on behalf of maternal-child health divisions, heat-relief networks, and infant-wellness initiatives serving vulnerable populations.

Activity concentrates in Arizona and Michigan based on recent posting dates. The City of Phoenix Finance Department issued an IFB on November 17, 2025, for a five-year heat relief supplies contract (IFB-260046) with a December 12, 2025, sealed-offer deadline, seeking 2,000 hats, cooling towels, sunscreen, 1,000 pairs of shoes, compression socks, and related items for distribution across 60+ city locations and regional heat-relief network sites, with firm-fixed pricing for two years and $2 million minimum general liability coverage required. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued Request for Quote No. 538597 on February 12, 2026, on behalf of the Health Department's Maternal Child Health Division, with a February 18, 2026, deadline, seeking 50 portable cribs, 50 infant car seats, 100 safe sleep kits with crib sheets, 100 wearable blankets, baby shower boxes, and parent toolkits under a Detroit-based business set-aside with one to five percent equalization credits. Both solicitations require product samples, compliance with federal safety standards, and proof of insurance; neither discloses a specific budget or award ceiling.
