UNSPSC 11162111: Mesh

UNSPSC 11162111 Mesh (Commodity) covers woven or knitted textile mesh materials used by state and local public bodies, currently sourced for industrial and institutional applications such as laundry bags, protective screening, and similar end uses requiring specified weave patterns and durability standards. The work involves supplying bulk fabric by the yard to meet customer technical specifications — weight per square yard, fiber content, weave type (such as raschel weave with hexagonal pattern), and tensile strength — delivered to the customer's receiving location on a fixed schedule. Issuing bodies include state correctional facilities and other institutional operations within state departments, purchasing under small purchase or standard procurement processes with set-asides for small business participation.

Illinois Department of Corrections' Menard Correctional Center posted a representative opportunity under this code in August 2026 — an IFB for 40,000 yards of 60-inch white mesh material (raschel weave, 4.5 ounces per square yard, 100% polyester) for fiscal year 2027 laundry bags, with bids due August 18, 2026, under a small business set-aside. Delivery was required by June 30, 2027, F.O.B. Destination, with all transportation and handling costs included in the bidder's price. Vendors had to furnish a one-yard sample prior to award and comply with Illinois state certifications covering legal status, tax compliance, cybersecurity, and equal employment opportunity. The recent-opportunities block does not support additional identified solicitations under this code.
