UNSPSC 11161700: Cotton fabrics

UNSPSC 11161700 Cotton fabrics, a Class code, encompasses raw textile materials and finished cotton fabric products that state and local governments procure for operational and manufacturing purposes. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing raw textile materials in various colors and compositions for correctional industries manufacturing, and law enforcement equipment containing fabric components through cooperative purchasing frameworks. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state procurement offices acting on behalf of corrections divisions, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell that aggregate demand across counties, school districts, and public entities to establish framework agreements for equipment containing textile components.

Activity under this code spans Connecticut and Washington state in the most recent opportunities. The State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services issued ITB 26PSX0082 on behalf of the Connecticut Department of Correction, Correctional Industries division, soliciting raw textile materials in various specifications with responses due May 28, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on behalf of its Participating Entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, establishing a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment to serve governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The Connecticut procurement emphasizes conformity to detailed product specifications and quality documentation, with award based on lowest responsible qualified respondent pricing and delivery terms; the Sourcewell cooperative preserves flexibility for participating entities to deploy the resulting law enforcement equipment contract through optional addenda.
