UNSPSC 11161802: Jacquard weave synthetic fabrics

UNSPSC 11161802 Jacquard weave synthetic fabrics, a Commodity code, covers specialized woven synthetic textiles procured by state and local agencies for institutional and operational use. State agencies are the primary buyers under this code, sourcing fabrics for correctional facilities, laundry operations, and other state-level functions. The fabrics acquired include polyester mesh materials engineered to meet precise technical specifications — weight per square yard, weave pattern and gauge, tensile strength — rather than commodity-grade textiles. Vendors typically supply fabric in bulk yardage on bolts, with delivery consolidated to a single institutional location and performance requirements tied to specific end-use applications such as laundry bag fabrication.

Activity under the code is sparse in the recent posting record. Illinois Department of Corrections posted a small-purchase IFB (Solicitation 27426DOCMENARB53582) with response due August 18, 2026, in which Menard Correctional Center requested 40,000 yards of 60-inch white mesh material—100% polyester, 24-gauge raschel weave, 4.5 ounces per square yard—under a small business set-aside. The contract runs through June 30, 2027, with all delivery concentrated at the facility's warehouse dock between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Bidders must submit a one-yard sample, carry general liability and auto liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence, and comply with 33 Illinois State certifications. This represents the only recent solicitation in the dataset under the code; the geographic and issuing-body profile is minimal.
