UNSPSC 53111902: Womens athletic footwear

UNSPSC 53111902 Women's athletic footwear, a Commodity code, covers specialized athletic and protective shoes that state and local governments procure for departmental operations, athletic programs, and public facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring women's footwear as part of broader apparel and equipment contracts, including protective work shoes meeting ANSI and OSHA standards, golf course retail footwear, collegiate athletic footwear for team sports, and custom uniforms with footwear components. The issuing bodies span city departments (Fort Worth, Atlanta, Waxahachie), county recreation facilities (Fulton County, Georgia), independent school districts (Birdville ISD, Harlingen Consolidated ISD), and community college athletic programs (Mt. San Antonio College). School districts and municipal recreation agencies represent the primary market segment, with footwear typically bundled into broader athletic supply, uniform, or retail merchandise contracts rather than procured as a standalone commodity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The City of Fort Worth issued an RFP for protective footwear due October 8, 2026, specifying asphalt, electrical hazard, orthopedic, restaurant-type, static dissipative, and waterproof options with a historical annual spend averaging $145,000 and a 30% Small Business participation goal.
