UNSPSC 53112100: Overshoes

UNSPSC 53112100 Overshoes is a Class code covering protective footwear overlays that state and local governments procure for workforce protection across maintenance, public safety, and facility operations. The code captures slip-on or laced protective coverings worn over standard work boots or shoes, including materials such as rubber, vinyl, or fabric reinforced with non-slip soles, steel shanks, or chemical-resistant coatings — equipment commonly issued to maintenance workers, custodial staff, transit operators, and first responders. Issuing bodies include state highway departments, county public works offices, city sanitation and facilities management, school district maintenance operations, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts managing water or wastewater systems. The work is routine consumables procurement, typically bundled with other personal protective equipment or janitorial supplies in periodic RFQs or IFBs rather than standalone competitive solicitations.

The source provided does not identify recent state or local contract opportunities under UNSPSC 53112100. Without posted RFQs, RFPs, IFBs, or ITBs naming this code, the geographic distribution and current buying patterns across jurisdictions cannot be characterized from recent activity. Prospective vendors should monitor state and local procurement portals and cooperative purchasing catalogs — particularly those serving transportation, public works, and facilities management — where overshoes are frequently acquired as line items within broader safety-equipment or janitorial-supply buys rather than as sole-source awards.
