UNSPSC 11161804: Knit synthetic fabrics

UNSPSC 11161804 Knit synthetic fabrics (Commodity) covers woven and knitted synthetic textile materials that state and local governments procure for functional and structural applications. Recent activity shows municipalities buying shade structures and fabric-covered architectural elements — items that combine synthetic textile materials with structural framing for outdoor or semi-enclosed use. The City of Dallas, for example, recently solicited bids for shade structures with fabric covering (IFB posted March 10, 2026, due March 17, 2026). Issuing bodies on this code include municipal governments and city procurement offices; the narrow recent-opportunities block does not support characterization of a broader issuing-body mix across counties, school districts, or transit authorities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, as evidenced by the Dallas municipal procurement. The City of Dallas IFB required new, unopened products in original packaging, with no substitutions accepted, FOB delivery site pricing (including freight), and one-year unconditional warranty from the date of acceptance. Quote submission was online via the city's bonfire procurement portal with a firm 30-day price hold, and vendors were required to provide general liability and workers compensation insurance certificates before purchase-order release. The city reserved the right to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and to reject any or all quotes. No set-aside designations or incumbent-vendor restrictions were identified in the Dallas solicitation.
