UNSPSC 11161808: Chenille weave synthetic fabric

Chenille woven fabric from man made fibers

UNSPSC 11161808 Chenille weave synthetic fabric is a Commodity code that in practice captures industrial mesh and technical textiles procured by state correctional and detention facilities for operational use. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows state and local governments buying specialized synthetic fabrics — primarily mesh materials with defined weave patterns, weight specifications, and performance requirements — for applications such as laundry bags, storage containers, and facility operations. The Illinois Department of Corrections has posted solicitations under this code for bulk fabric procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly state-agency procurement offices managing correctional facilities and similar institutional operations requiring durable synthetic textiles. Work is characterized by small-purchase competitive bidding with small-business set-asides, technical specification-driven purchasing, and one-time or annual supply agreements with delivery windows that span fiscal periods.

The Illinois Department of Corrections represents the recent geographic concentration of activity under this code. Menard Correctional Center posted an IFB (Solicitation 27426DOCMENARB53582) on August 12, 2026 seeking 40,000 yards of 60-inch white mesh material — 100% polyester, 24-gauge raschel weave, 4.5 ounces per square yard — with a response due date of August 18, 2026 and delivery required by June 30, 2027. The procurement included a small-business set-aside and required bidders to submit one-yard samples prior to award, carry $1 million per-occurrence general liability insurance, and comply with 33 Illinois State certifications covering legal status, tax compliance, and employment standards. Delivery was F.O.B. Destination to the facility warehouse dock during specified business hours, with all transportation and handling costs included in the bid price. The one-time contract was priced at estimated value to be entered by the State prior to execution.
