UNSPSC 11131500: Animal hides and skins and animal textile materials

UNSPSC 11131500 Animal hides and skins and animal textile materials is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of raw and processed animal-derived materials including hides, skins, leather, fur, and fibers such as wool and horsehair used in manufacturing and maintenance applications across state and local government. State and local governments acquire these materials primarily for use in equipment restoration, uniform and apparel production, furniture upholstery, and specialized protective gear where animal-derived textiles or leather components are required. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts, though recent procurement activity under this specific code remains limited.

The source provided contains no record of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under UNSPSC 11131500, making it difficult to characterize geographic spread or name representative active solicitations at this time. Business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor state and local procurement platforms for activity, as demand for animal hides and skins typically concentrates among state departments managing equipment maintenance and restoration, correctional facilities requiring leather goods and apparel, and municipalities operating animal-control or veterinary services where these materials may be repurposed or recycled.
