UNSPSC 11162113: Upholstery fabrics

UNSPSC 11162113 Upholstery fabrics (Commodity) encompasses window coverings, drapery, and upholstery material supply and installation work that state and local governments procure for fleet vehicles, facilities, and transit infrastructure. Recent activity shows demand for commercial-grade vinyl, polyester-backed faux leather, woven upholstery fabric, and canvas material in bulk quantities ordered through standing contracts, as well as installation and repair labor for automotive seating, school bus interiors, and institutional furnishings. The issuing bodies span state procurement offices (Connecticut Department of Administrative Services), county transportation and fleet authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Sacramento County, Fairfax County), and fire rescue operations (Hillsborough County), with repeat demand from school district fleets and county vehicle maintenance operations.

Activity concentrates in California, Connecticut, and Virginia, with recent solicitations including an Orange County Transportation Authority RFQ for window covering supply and maintenance services (due October 13, 2026, $35,000 over three years); a Connecticut Department of Administrative Services ITB for awning, drapery, and upholstery fabrics with tiered volume discounts and a five-year term effective September 1, 2026; Fairfax County IFBs for school bus upholstery repair and replacement labor across multiple posting cycles; and a Sacramento County RFB for vehicle upholstery repair services through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance cooperative purchasing agreement (due March 27, 2026, up to $84,000 maximum). Contracts typically require firm-fixed pricing for the initial term, hold contractors to one-hour minimum service calls or hourly labor rates, and impose warranty periods of 90 days or manufacturer coverage. Most solicitations require general liability coverage between $1 million and $2 million and restrict local vendors to geographic proximity when specified.
