UNSPSC 53112000: Shoe accessories

UNSPSC 53112000 Shoe accessories is a Class code covering replacement and functional shoe components that state and local governments procure for employee uniform programs, occupational safety, and fleet operations. The code encompasses items such as insoles, heel replacements, shoelaces, shoe repair kits, and protective shoe components used to extend the service life of issued footwear or customize fit and safety performance. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of transportation, corrections, public safety, and human services; county sheriff and police departments; municipal fire and public works services; and school districts operating bus fleets and maintenance operations. Shoe accessories appear in both standalone RFQs for replacement inventory and as line items within broader apparel and safety equipment procurements tied to uniform contracts or personal protective equipment programs.

The code shows recent solicitation activity across multiple states, with documented opportunities in the Midwest and South. Representative recent opportunities include a state corrections department RFQ for shoe repair kits and replacement insoles supporting inmate work programs and staff footwear maintenance, and a municipal fire department IFB for protective shoe accessories and heel replacements to support turnout gear programs. Response dates and specific dollar values are not available in the current activity record. The geographic spread and issuing-body diversity suggest steady, distributed demand across departments responsible for occupational safety and uniform issuance, though the code does not report high-volume or multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing activity.
