UNSPSC 11161701: Plain weave cotton fabrics

UNSPSC 11161701 Plain weave cotton fabrics (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline—solicits law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, not plain weave cotton fabric. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is procuring on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with numerous other jurisdictions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. The RFP seeks to establish a statewide or regional contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities, but the scope and product specifications do not align with cotton fabric procurement.

The geographic spread indicated by this single opportunity spans Washington state and extends nationally through Sourcewell's cooperative framework, though the mismatch between the code's textile focus and the law enforcement equipment solicitation suggests this code may not be capturing relevant state and local fabric purchasing activity. No other recent opportunities appear in the available records to establish typical issuing-body patterns, geographic concentration, or representative procurement of plain weave cotton fabrics. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether fabric procurement under this UNSPSC category is being tagged accurately at the state and local level or whether applicable opportunities are being classified under different codes.
