UNSPSC 53111602: Womens shoes

UNSPSC 53111602 Women's shoes, a Commodity code, encompasses footwear procurements by state and local entities. Recent state and local opportunities show that issuing bodies are buying both utility and specialized footwear — low quarter dress shoes for institutional use, and athletic shoes for specific populations or programs. The mix of buying bodies includes higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University) and state correctional agencies (Missouri Department of Corrections). These solicitations operate through cooperative purchasing platforms and state bidder registration systems; Texas A&M uses its AggieBid platform and requires registration on the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List, while Missouri Department of Corrections uses MissouriBUYS and structures awards as all-or-nothing single-vendor contracts with volume commitments across multiple institutional locations.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Missouri. Texas A&M University Division of Finance Procurement Services posted an ITB (TAMU-ITB-26-5067) on July 10, 2026, for a Master Order to provide low quarter dress shoes with bids due July 27, 2026. The Missouri Department of Corrections issued an IFB (ER234R6034) on June 10, 2026, for a one-time purchase covering approximately 5,000 pairs of athletic shoes (4,544 pairs men's Adidas "Own the Game" shoes, 456 pairs women's Puma "Softride Enzo 5" shoes) for nineteen honor dorm facilities statewide, with bids due July 9, 2026. The Missouri solicitation included a 10% preference for American-made products and a three-point bonus for Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Contract periods for MO DOC run six months with a one-time renewal option; delivery requirements are tight at fifteen business days from purchase order authorization.
