UNSPSC 53111705: Infants slippers

UNSPSC 53111705 Infants slippers (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve infant slippers; instead, they solicit heat relief supplies and safe sleep and infant wellness products respectively, representing a significant mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being procured. No relevant opportunities for footwear or apparel for infants appear in the recent procurement record for this Commodity code.

The City of Phoenix Finance Department's Central Procurement Division posted IFB-26-0046 on November 17, 2025, seeking a five-year heat relief supplies contract with response due December 12, 2025, covering water bottles, drink mix, hats, cooling towels, sunscreen, shoes, pet bowls, compression socks, shelters, coolers, and misting equipment for distribution to over 60 city locations and regional heat relief network sites. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued RFQ 538597 on February 12, 2026, with response due February 18, 2026, to supply safe sleep products including Pack 'n Play cribs, infant car seats, sleep sacks, and related educational materials to support maternal and child health programs, restricted to certified Detroit-based businesses with equalization credit preferences of up to five percent. Because the code's actual recent solicitations do not target infant slippers or closely related footwear, pursuit of opportunities under this Commodity code should be assessed with caution pending clarification of whether the code assignment reflects persistent miscategorization or temporary mislabeling in the procurement system.
