UNSPSC 11162112: Coated fabrics

UNSPSC 11162112 Coated fabrics is a Commodity code representing specialty textiles that state and local governments procure for institutional upholstery, drapery, awnings, and related applications. The Connecticut Department of Administrative Services recently posted ITB 26PSX0164 for awning, drapery, and upholstery fabrics including polyolefin fiber, vinyl composites, and woven upholstery material, with responses due September 2, 2026. The scope covers commercial and institutional use across multiple fabric categories priced per yard with volume-tiered discounts; the contract runs five years with firm pricing for year one and indexed annual adjustments thereafter tied to the U.S. Producer Price Index for textile products. Award criteria emphasize price, followed by specification conformance, past performance, financial responsibility, and delivery terms. Connecticut applies a micro-business price preference of up to 10% (15% for veteran-owned micro businesses with gross revenues not exceeding three million dollars).

Connecticut's Department of Administrative Services is the primary recent issuing body under this code, procuring on behalf of the Department of Correction and other state entities through individual purchase orders. The activity is concentrated in Connecticut, with the ITB 26PSX0164 representing the most visible recent opportunity. Vendors pursuing this code should note the five-year contract structure, the requirement for commercial general liability insurance of at least one million dollars per occurrence and two million dollars aggregate, and the state's use of CTsource for electronic submission and public pricing disclosure within twenty-four hours of closing.
