UNSPSC 11162108: Wire mesh fabric or cloth

UNSPSC 11162108 Wire mesh fabric or cloth is a Commodity code that encompasses marine-grade textiles and canvas products, based on recent state and local solicitations purchasing custom canvas fabrication, repair, and replacement services for watercraft and law enforcement applications. State and local governments buy under this code for specialized canvas items including bimini covers, side curtains, fire extinguisher covers, seat covers, boat covers, tarps, and related marine textiles, along with broader law enforcement equipment that may incorporate fabric components. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county sheriffs' offices (Orange County, California) managing harbor patrol operations and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit acting on behalf of multiple counties and jurisdictions across the United States and Canada to establish framework agreements for law enforcement equipment.

The most recent activity centers on California and the upper Midwest through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative initiative. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner issued an IFB (MA06026010722SC) due February 6, 2026, for repair and replacement of canvas and marine articles to support Harbor Patrol operations at Corona Del Mar, Dana Point, and Sunset Beach, structured as a time-and-material contract with standard and after-hours labor rates and featuring a five percent local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise preference capped at $100,000. Sourcewell issued an RFP (#061626) due June 16, 2026, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments across multiple jurisdictions; the solicitation encompasses participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state along with entities throughout the United States and Canada.
