UNSPSC 53111904: Girls athletic footwear

UNSPSC 53111904 Girls athletic footwear is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the apparel and athletic goods space. State and local governments procure girls' athletic footwear primarily as part of broader athletic and uniform supply contracts serving school districts, colleges, cities, and municipalities. The recent opportunities show footwear embedded in larger multi-category solicitations rather than as standalone line items—school districts and community colleges buy girls' athletic footwear alongside team uniforms, practice apparel, and general athletic equipment; cities and counties acquire protective and golf-specific footwear as part of retail merchandise or departmental safety-gear programs. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, community college athletic departments, city purchasing offices, and county recreation and parks departments. The market shows school districts as the dominant buyer segment, particularly for team sports programs and physical education supplies.

Activity concentrates in Texas and California, with notable recent solicitations from Birdville Independent School District (athletic equipment and supplies RFQ, $867,443.31 annual estimated value, July 1, 2026 response deadline), Mt. San Antonio College in Los Angeles County (athletic apparel, uniforms, and footwear for 24 varsity sports, estimated $100,000–$250,000 annually, May 18, 2026 deadline), and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (athletic and conditioning supplies, May 4, 2026 deadline). Outside Texas and California, the City of Fort Worth issued an RFP for protective footwear (October 8, 2026 deadline, $145,000 historical annual spend, 30% small business participation goal) and Fulton County, Georgia posted an IFB for golf course retail merchandise including footwear (October 2, 2026 deadline). Girls' athletic footwear does not appear as a standalone procurement; vendors typically compete as part of multi-sport or multi-category athletic supply agreements where pricing is submitted as percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price or as firm-fixed unit pricing across multiple footwear categories.
