UNSPSC 53111802: Womens sandals

UNSPSC 53111802 Womens sandals is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure footwear and related apparel, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix), and school districts (DeKalb County School District). The actual work being solicited includes low quarter dress shoes for a university master order, heat relief supplies that incidentally include shoes as one component of a broader emergency-response inventory, and athletic equipment with uniforms bundled as a catalog-discount procurement for a large school system. Only the heat relief supplies contract explicitly names shoes (1,000 pairs) as part of a multi-item award; the Texas A&M solicitation targets dress shoes specifically, while the DeKalb County opportunity treats shoes as an optional line item within a broader athletic equipment and uniforms catalog discount arrangement.

Geographic spread includes Texas (Texas A&M University) and Arizona (City of Phoenix), with Georgia represented by DeKalb County School District. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas A&M University Division of Finance Procurement Services ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5067 for low quarter dress shoes with bids due July 27, 2026, the City of Phoenix Finance Department Central Procurement Division Invitation for Bid IFB-26-0046 for heat relief supplies (including shoes as one component of a five-year contract) with sealed offers due December 12, 2025, and the DeKalb County School District ITB 26-716 for athletic equipment and uniforms catalog discounts with electronic bid submissions due February 26, 2026. No contract values are disclosed in the source material. The code shows limited recent activity genuinely focused on womens sandals or sandals specifically; opportunities are tagged to this code but predominantly solicit other footwear categories or bundled apparel and equipment where shoes represent only a subset of deliverables.
