UNSPSC 11162002: Knit non cotton vegetable fiber fabrics

UNSPSC 11162002 Knit non cotton vegetable fiber fabrics is a Commodity code that in practice covers fabric-covered shade structures and similar products rather than raw textiles — the recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments buying finished goods incorporating vegetable-fiber or similar fabrics rather than purchasing yard goods or bulk material. The City of Dallas represents the issuing body type pursuing these purchases, with procurement structured through competitive bidding via online platforms. Products must be new and in original packaging with no substitutes accepted, and vendors assume all freight responsibility on a FOB delivery-site basis.

Dallas, Texas is the primary recent geographic focus. The City of Dallas issued an IFB (Solicitation #IFSPKRB2300024) for shade structures with fabric covering in March 2026, with a response deadline of March 17, 2026. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors must carry general liability and workers compensation insurance, provide a one-year unconditional warranty covering defects, and comply with Dallas Conflict of Interest disclosure requirements, including completion of a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire no later than the 7th business day after facts requiring disclosure emerge. The City is tax-exempt, so vendors should exclude federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes from pricing. No set-aside designations or vendor-type restrictions appear in the available materials.
