UNSPSC 53111701: Mens slippers

UNSPSC 53111701 Mens slippers, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The City of Phoenix Finance Department Central Procurement Division posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB 26-0046) in March 2026 for heat relief supplies — a five-year contract that includes water bottles, drink mix packets, hats, cooling towels, sunscreen, shoes, pet bowls, compression socks, instant shelters, coolers, and misting equipment distributed to over 60 City of Phoenix locations and Maricopa Association of Governments Heat Relief Network sites serving vulnerable populations. The contract specifies 1,000 pairs of shoes among a much larger procurement of cooling and hydration gear, but the core scope is emergency heat-relief distribution, not men's footwear supply. The issuing body is a single city department; no pattern of municipal, county, state, or school-district activity under this code appears in the recent opportunities block.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The Phoenix opportunity was posted in March 2026 with a sealed-bid response deadline of December 12, 2025 — a retroactive date indicating either a data-entry error or a solicitation notice republished after its original close. Absent additional recent opportunities that align with men's slippers procurement, the code does not signal active buying patterns for the product category it names.
