UNSPSC 11162102: Bismalemide fabric or cloth

UNSPSC 11162102 Bismalemide fabric or cloth is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement practice encompasses industrial and institutional textiles used for operational purposes, including mesh materials for laundry applications and containment use. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include correctional facilities and other government operations requiring durable, specification-heavy textile supplies. The Menard Correctional Center in Illinois, a state agency, represents the kind of institutional buyer active under this code, procuring materials with precise technical requirements—in this case, 40,000 yards of 60-inch white mesh material with defined weight, fiber composition, weave pattern, and tensile strength specifications for laundry bag production. Vendors must meet insurance requirements (general commercial liability of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, auto liability of $1 million per occurrence, and workers' compensation), comply with a 33-item Illinois state certification checklist covering legal status, tax compliance, drug-free workplace, equal employment opportunity, and cybersecurity standards, and obtain prior written approval for any subcontracting over $100,000 in annual value. Delivery is F.O.B. destination with all costs absorbed by the vendor, subject to facility-specific constraints including security background checks and restricted delivery windows (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.).

The Illinois Department of Corrections' Menard Correctional Center issued a small purchase IFB (Solicitation Number 27426DOCMENARB53582) with a small business set-aside on August 12, 2026, with bids due August 18, 2026. The contract runs from execution through June 30, 2027, with all material delivery required by that date. Vendors must provide a one-yard sample prior to award, which is destroyed upon contract execution. Recent activity under this code centers in Illinois, with procurement activity centered on institutional textile supply through state correctional and operational agencies. The market shows limited but specialized demand driven by government operational needs with high compliance and specification rigor.
