UNSPSC 53111601: Mens shoes

UNSPSC 53111601 Mens shoes is a Commodity code that captures footwear procurement by state and local corrections systems, primarily for incarcerated populations and specialized institutional uses. State and local governments under this code are buying athletic shoes, canvas work shoes, and specialty footwear designed for correctional facility environments—products selected for durability, safety compliance (such as metal-free closures and contraband-resistant construction), and the ability to serve large institutional populations in bulk orders. Recent opportunities show corrections departments and sheriff's offices as the primary issuing bodies, including state departments of corrections and county-level institutional procurement offices. The scope of work extends beyond simple footwear supply to encompass multi-facility coordination, standardized sizing across gender and population categories, and compliance with institutional security and custody protocols.
