UNSPSC 53111801: Mens sandals

UNSPSC 53111801 Mens sandals is a Commodity code that state and local governments are procuring under this classification in the context of heat relief and emergency supply distribution, though the recent solicitation activity does not reflect traditional footwear procurement. The City of Phoenix Finance Department, Central Procurement Division solicited mens sandals as one line item within a much broader heat relief supplies contract (IFB 260046, due December 12, 2025) that encompasses water bottles, cooling towels, sunscreen, hats, compression socks, pet bowls, coolers, and misting equipment for vulnerable populations. The issuing body is a municipal procurement office managing a five-year supply agreement with distribution across over 60 City locations and regional heat relief network sites. While the code nominally describes mens footwear, the recent activity suggests that state and local governments tag this UNSPSC number for emergency preparedness and public health supply contracts where shoes or sandals appear as minor components of larger commodity bundles rather than as primary procurement objects.

Geographic activity under this code is limited to Arizona, with the City of Phoenix as the sole recent issuing body in the dataset. The Phoenix heat relief supplies contract represents the only documented recent opportunity and requires contractors to register in the procurePHX Self-Registration System, maintain minimum stock levels, provide a 48-hour delivery window, and carry $2,000,000 general aggregate liability insurance. Pricing is firm and fixed for two years with potential annual increases subject to 60 days' written notice. All supplies must be new and carry a minimum five-year warranty, with payment at 45 days in arrears. The procurement reflects municipal emergency response and social services activity rather than typical footwear distribution.
