NIGP 85042: Duck (Canvas), Treated (Tent Cloth)

NIGP 85042 Duck (Canvas), Treated (Tent Cloth), an Item code, covers heavy-duty treated fabric materials used in temporary and semi-permanent structures, particularly tension fabric tent systems. State and local governments procure this commodity primarily as part of larger capital projects involving modular tent installations, event facilities, and temporary operational structures. The fabric specifications reflect institutional end-use: double-coated PVC polyester with ripstop treatment, ultraviolet and corrosion resistance, waterproofing, and performance ratings across extreme temperature ranges. Issuing bodies are predominantly community college districts and special-purpose educational entities.

Mt. San Antonio Community College District issued RFQ #2026-070 on June 23, 2026, requesting proposals for furnishing, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a 25-meter by 30-meter by 4-meter tension fabric tent structure at Parking Lot M, with proposals due July 6, 2026 and installation required by August 24, 2026. The solicitation specifies double-coated blackout white PVC polyester fabric with a minimum weight of 850 g/m2, 100 percent waterproof, ripstop treated, ultraviolet and corrosion resistant, engineered to withstand sustained wind speeds of 100 to 140 km/h and temperatures from -30C to +70C. The district requested separate line-item pricing for complete purchase, delivery, and installation, plus an optional lump-sum disassembly and removal service by June 30, 2027. Recent activity under this code is limited; the single posted opportunity reflects demand from higher-education institutions in California.
