UNSPSC 11161705: Cotton velvet fabrics

UNSPSC 11161705 Cotton velvet fabrics (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle. The description of the law enforcement equipment procurement does not indicate that cotton velvet fabrics are a material component of the solicitation; the mismatch between the code's textile focus and the actual scope of work suggests either miscoding or that cotton velvet textiles represent an incidental input to a broader equipment category rather than the primary deliverable being sought.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is procuring under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) with participation from Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, alongside numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The cooperative structure extends eligibility to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. The absence of a second recent opportunity supporting this code, combined with the apparent miscoding of the single posted solicitation, indicates that state and local governments are not actively procuring cotton velvet fabrics as a standalone commodity under UNSPSC 11161705 at present.
