UNSPSC 11161703: Cotton oxford cloths

UNSPSC 11161703 Cotton oxford cloths is a Commodity code that captures textile fabrics used in state and local government procurement, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct purchasing under this specific code. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, with a due date of June 16, 2026—addresses law enforcement uniforms and gear rather than cotton oxford cloth as a raw material or finished textile product. The scope mismatch suggests that state and local agencies may be tagging apparel and protective equipment solicitations with broader textile codes when a more precise commodity code would apply, or that cotton oxford cloth represents a minor component specification within larger law enforcement equipment procurements rather than a standalone line item.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued the RFP on behalf of participating entities across Washington State (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada. The cooperative purchasing structure makes the contract available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. The solicitation documents are available exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or award values were disclosed in the available documentation. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; state and local procurement professionals should verify whether cotton oxford cloth specifications appear in apparel and uniform solicitations under related textile or protective equipment codes rather than expect substantial direct procurement volume under this specific commodity code.
