UNSPSC 53111602: Womens shoes

UNSPSC 53111602 Women's shoes (Commodity) covers footwear for women solicited by state agencies, higher education institutions, and local government, spanning athletic shoes, dress shoes, and specialized footwear for specific operational needs. Recent state and local opportunities show issuing bodies—including state departments of corrections, university procurement offices, and school districts—buying women's shoes both as discrete line items in larger apparel or supplies contracts and as standalone uniform or equipment requirements. The Missouri Department of Corrections solicited 456 pairs of women's Puma athletic shoes as part of a one-time honor dorm supply contract; Texas A&M University issued a master order for low quarter dress shoes; and DeKalb County School District (Georgia) procured athletic footwear through a catalog-discount model serving 93,000 students across 139 schools. State and local buyers treat women's shoes as part of operational uniform, athletic, or facility supply strategies rather than standalone apparel procurement.

The recent activity cluster spans Texas, Missouri, and Georgia, with representation across higher education, state corrections, and K–12 school districts. The Missouri Department of Corrections IFB ER234R6034 (due July 9, 2026) exemplifies the operational-supply model, bundling women's athletic shoes with men's shoes, fleece hoodies, and seasoning in a single all-or-nothing award to serve 456 women across nineteen institutional locations; the contract runs six months from award with a renewal option, firm fixed pricing, and a 10 percent American-made preference plus a three-point Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise bonus. Texas A&M University ITB TAMUITB265067 (due July 27, 2026) seeks low quarter dress shoes under a master order model requiring vendor registration on the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List and submission via AggieBid. DeKalb County School District ITB 26-716 (due February 26, 2026) procures athletic footwear and uniforms on a requirements basis with firm catalog discounts, no specific contract value, and a one-year initial term with four optional renewal periods.
