UNSPSC 11162108: Wire mesh fabric or cloth

UNSPSC 11162108 Wire mesh fabric or cloth, a Commodity code, nominally covers wire mesh products for restraint, containment, and separation applications in state and local procurement, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with mesh fabric purchasing. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—addresses a broad procurement framework for law enforcement gear and equipment rather than wire mesh components specifically. The scope of actual mesh-fabric procurement under this code, when it occurs, typically serves containment, animal control, filtration, or structural applications across state agencies, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts, but the recent solicitation record does not surface concrete examples of current demand.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued the Law Enforcement Equipment RFP on behalf of participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima in Washington state, with the framework available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada under Washington's cooperative purchasing statute (RCW 39.34). The solicitation submission portal is exclusively through Sourcewell's online procurement platform, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The mismatch between the code's product focus and the broad law enforcement equipment scope suggests limited current activity under UNSPSC 11162108 itself, and vendors should verify whether wire mesh is actually included in the law enforcement framework or whether this code's recent opportunity record reflects a classification error.
