UNSPSC 53111605: Infants shoes

UNSPSC 53111605 Infants shoes is a Commodity code that covers footwear for babies and toddlers, though recent state and local solicitations show the code tagged to broader infant and child wellness procurement. The City of Detroit's Safe Sleep and Infant Wellness Supplies RFQ (No. 538597, due February 18, 2026) named shoes only as an ancillary item within a larger maternal and child health program supporting safe sleep education and newborn parent support—the bulk of that solicitation covered Pack 'n Play cribs, infant car seats, sleep sacks, and educational materials. The City of Phoenix's Heat Relief Supplies IFB (No. 260046, due December 12, 2025) included 1,000 pairs of shoes alongside water bottles, cooling towels, and outdoor equipment for vulnerable populations during extreme heat events. The code shows limited direct application in recent state and local activity; when infant or child shoes do appear, they are packaged into larger health, safety, or emergency-relief contracts rather than solicited as standalone apparel purchases.

Issuing bodies pursuing this code are municipal health departments and city procurement offices working within disaster relief or public health frameworks. Recent opportunities cluster in Michigan (Detroit) and Arizona (Phoenix), with both major cities active in early 2026. The Detroit RFQ is restricted to Detroit Based Businesses and applies equalization credit allowances of one to five percent depending on certification type; respondents must submit Detroit Based Business Certification, proof of Worker's Compensation and General Liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate minimums, and comply with notarized affidavit and disclosure requirements. The Phoenix IFB requires registration in procurePHX, a $2,000,000 general aggregate/$1,000,000 per occurrence liability floor, and fixed-price terms for the first two years with 60-day notice for annual escalations. Both contracts emphasize rapid delivery (48 hours for Phoenix, 3–5 days for Detroit) and are structured as multi-year blanket or requirements agreements with potential renewal options.
