UNSPSC 11162102: Bismalemide fabric or cloth

UNSPSC 11162102 Bismalemide fabric or cloth is a Commodity code that covers specialized technical fabrics used in marine and industrial applications. State and local opportunities under this code center on custom fabrication, repair, and replacement of marine-grade canvas and fabric-covered structures—particularly waterproof canvas items such as bimini covers, side curtains, boat covers, tarps, and seat covers for law enforcement and municipal operations. The issuing bodies include county sheriff departments and municipal procurement offices seeking time-and-material or fixed-price contracts for fabric repair and replacement services, often with three-year terms and optional renewal periods. Insurance and contractor licensing requirements are standard, and some jurisdictions offer local small business or disabled veteran business enterprise set-asides.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner posted a competitive bid (RFQ MA06026010722SC, due February 6, 2026) for repair and replacement of marine canvas articles supporting Harbor Patrol operations at Corona Del Mar, Dana Point, and Sunset Beach, with evaluation criteria favoring responsiveness, responsibility, and lowest bid; the solicitation offers a five percent preference for Orange County Local Small Business and DVBE-certified vendors with a maximum deduction of $100,000. The City of Dallas solicited purchase of shade fabric-covered structures (IFSPKRB2300024, due March 17, 2026) on a fixed-price, FOB-delivery basis with no stated set-asides. Both opportunities require electronic bidding and proof of insurance before award.
