UNSPSC 11161807: Pile weave synthetic fabric

A woven fabric that has loops on one or both sides of the fabric.

UNSPSC 11161807 Pile weave synthetic fabric (Commodity) covers industrial-grade synthetic mesh and woven materials that state and local governments procure for operational and maintenance purposes. The recent activity shows state correctional facilities buying specialized synthetic fabrics with defined technical specifications — in this case, polyester raschel weave mesh for institutional laundry applications. The work involves procurement of bulk fabric bolts, with vendors required to meet precise gauge, weight, weave pattern, and strength standards, and to supply samples for verification before contract execution. Issuing bodies under this code include state corrections departments managing facility operations and supplies.

The Illinois Department of Corrections at Menard Correctional Center posted a small purchase RFQ in August 2026 (solicitation 27426DOCMENARB53582) for 40,000 yards of 60-inch white mesh material with a small business set-aside, with a response deadline of August 18, 2026. The specification required 100% polyester, 24-gauge raschel weave with hexagonal pattern at 4.5 ounces per square yard, with all delivery to the facility warehouse dock F.O.B. Destination by June 30, 2027. Vendors must carry $1,000,000 per-occurrence general liability and auto liability coverage, maintain workers' compensation insurance, and comply with 33 Illinois State certifications including legal entity status, tax compliance, drug-free workplace, and cybersecurity requirements. The contract runs through June 30, 2027 as a one-time agreement with no subcontracting allowed for entities under $100,000 annual value.
