UNSPSC 53111803: Boys sandals

UNSPSC 53111803 Boys sandals is a Commodity code that state and local governments are sourcing under as part of broader heat relief and emergency supplies procurement. The City of Phoenix Finance Department, Central Procurement Division posted IFB 26-0046 in March 2026 for a five-year heat relief supplies contract targeting distribution to over 60 City of Phoenix locations and Maricopa Association of Governments Heat Relief Network sites serving vulnerable populations. The solicitation includes 1,000 pairs of shoes among a comprehensive range of items spanning single-use water bottles, cooling towels, sunscreen, hats, pet bowls, compression socks, instant shelters, coolers, and misting equipment. This tagging suggests the code is being applied to footwear components of emergency and public-health supply bundles rather than to boys sandals as a standalone procurement category. Contractors must maintain minimum stock levels, provide an online ordering platform, and deliver within 48 hours during business hours. All supplies must be new and unused with a minimum five-year warranty, and contractors are required to carry minimum liability coverage of $2,000,000 general aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence. Pricing must be firm and fixed for the initial two years.

The single recent opportunity identified is the City of Phoenix IFB, posted March 17, 2026, with a pre-offer conference scheduled for December 1, 2025 (a date appearing inconsistent with the posting date), written inquiries due December 5, 2025, and sealed offers due December 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Contract commencement is targeted for February 1, 2026. The code shows minimal direct activity in state and local procurement as a standalone boys sandals category; the Phoenix opportunity represents a mismatch between the nominal code definition and actual buying patterns, with footwear embedded in a large emergency-supplies bundle rather than purchased as a distinct line item. No other recent state or local opportunities are present in the source.
