UNSPSC 11162114: Hook and loop fabrics or tapes

UNSPSC 11162114 Hook and loop fabrics or tapes, a Commodity code, covers adhesive-backed fastening materials and related textile components used in repair, fabrication, and assembly work across state and local agencies. The recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments buying these materials primarily as components within broader canvas and marine goods repair contracts rather than as standalone procurement items. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner's March 2026 RFB for repair and replacement of canvas and marine articles—including bimini covers, side curtains, fire extinguisher covers, seat covers, boat covers, and tarps for Harbor Patrol operations—represents the kind of work where hook and loop fasteners serve as functional subcomponents in larger fabrication and repair efforts. Issuing bodies under this code include county sheriff's departments and other public safety agencies managing watercraft and equipment maintenance, though the recent opportunity block shows limited visibility into broader state and local activity at the Commodity level.

Activity is concentrated in California, with the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner solicitation (MA06026010722SC, due February 6, 2026) as the only recent posting in the source. The contract is a time-and-materials arrangement with standard and after-hours labor rates, three-year term with potential two-year renewal, and requires $1,000,000 general liability and automobile liability insurance. Orange County offers a five percent local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise preference with a maximum deduction of $100,000. The lack of additional recent opportunities under this Commodity code suggests either infrequent solicitation of hook and loop materials as standalone line items or procurement categorization mismatches in state and local systems where these materials appear as subcomponents rather than principal deliverables.
