UNSPSC 53111600: Shoes

UNSPSC 53111600 Shoes is a Class code covering footwear procurement by state and local governments, with recent solicitations spanning dress shoes for university personnel, work footwear for heat relief distribution programs, and athletic shoes for school districts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include higher-education institutions, county sheriffs' departments, municipal finance agencies, and school districts. The scope of work reflects a mix of occupational and specialized footwear: Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services issued an ITB for low quarter dress shoes as a master order for personnel use; the City of Phoenix procured 1,000 pairs of shoes as part of a comprehensive five-year heat relief supplies contract; and DeKalb County School District included shoes within a broader athletic equipment and uniforms catalog-discount procurement. Work solicited under the code ranges from standard occupational footwear to specialized items such as compression socks and dog shoes for relief distribution networks, reflecting demand from both administrative and service-delivery operations.
