UNSPSC 11161600: Wool fabrics

UNSPSC 11161600 Wool fabrics is a Class code encompassing raw textile materials and finished fabric products that state and local governments procure for manufacturing, institutional use, and supply purposes. State and local procurement under this code centers on raw textile inputs—materials in various fibers, colors, compositions, and specifications—acquired for production programs within correctional facilities, public workshops, and related government operations. The sourcing covers both commodity-grade bulk materials and specification-driven inputs where conformity to technical standards and quality certification are conditions of award. State correctional departments and their manufacturing arms drive the visible recent activity, working through centralized purchasing offices or divisional industrial programs to source materials in volume.

The Connecticut Department of Correction, procuring through the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, posted ITB 26PSX0082 on April 28, 2026, to source raw textile materials and components for its Correctional Industries division, with a response deadline of May 28, 2026. Award criteria prioritize pricing and specification conformity, with past performance, financial responsibility, and delivery terms as secondary factors. Bidders must submit detailed product specifications and quality documentation, provide three references, complete comprehensive compliance questionnaires, and execute all submissions electronically through the CTsource platform; the source supports no other recent opportunities or geographic spread beyond Connecticut at this time.
