UNSPSC 11162002: Knit non cotton vegetable fiber fabrics

UNSPSC 11162002 Knit non cotton vegetable fiber fabrics, a Commodity code, covers synthetic mesh and woven materials that state and local governments procure for operational and custodial purposes. The recent solicitation activity shows state correctional facilities sourcing technical fabrics for institutional use—specifically, polyester mesh for laundry bags and similar applications where durability, tensile strength, and dimensional stability matter. The work involves supply of raw material in bulk yardage, delivered to end-use facilities, rather than finished goods or value-added fabrication. Issuing bodies under this code include state correctional departments; the Illinois Department of Corrections issued the most recent tracked opportunity.

The Illinois Department of Corrections posted solicitation 27426DOCMENARB53582 on August 12, 2026, on behalf of Menard Correctional Center, requesting 40,000 yards of 60-inch white polyester mesh material (4.5 ounces per square yard, 24-gauge raschel weave) under a small purchase procurement with a small business set-aside, with response due August 18, 2026. The contract requires F.O.B. destination delivery by June 30, 2027, compliance with Illinois State certifications and security protocols, and insurance minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence general liability and $1,000,000 auto liability. The recent opportunity block contains no additional state or local solicitations under this code beyond the Illinois procurement.
