UNSPSC 11162116: Burlap cloth

UNSPSC 11162116 Burlap cloth is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve burlap cloth or textiles in any material sense. Orange County Transportation Authority posted an RFQ on September 29, 2026 (due October 13, 2026) for window covering supply and maintenance services — vertical blinds, roller shades, solar shades, and blackout shades — at two facilities in Orange, California, with a $35,000 three-year term budget. Sacramento County issued an RFB on July 16, 2026 (due March 27, 2026) for vehicle upholstery repair services, seeking contractors to perform reupholstery work on County-owned vehicles using automotive-grade fabric or vinyl at the contractor's facility. Neither opportunity involves burlap or natural-fiber industrial textiles; the window coverings RFQ focuses on synthetic shade materials and the upholstery RFB on modern automotive fabrics and labor.

The code shows no clear recent activity in state and local procurement that matches its nominal product scope. Because the two solicitations captured under this code are plainly unrelated to burlap cloth procurement, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for purposes of current market opportunity assessment. The mismatch between the code designation and actual commodity being purchased suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that state and local buyers do not use this Commodity code for their actual burlap or industrial-textile procurement. Firms evaluating entry into burlap supply to state and local government should investigate whether the code is used at all or whether such procurement falls under a different UNSPSC classification.
