UNSPSC 11162117: Rubber fabrics

UNSPSC 11162117 Rubber fabrics is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity posted under it does not align with the code's nominal scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 seeking law enforcement equipment — a category unrelated to rubber fabrics. The solicitation targets a broad multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, along with numerous other U.S. and Canadian public entities including school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofits. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to rubber fabric procurement by state and local buyers.

The geographic scope of the Sourcewell cooperative extends across multiple states and Canada through its participating entities framework, though Washington counties feature prominently in the posted solicitation. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 closed June 16, 2026, and was posted on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal rather than traditional state procurement systems. Questions and submissions flowed through Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. Because the single recent opportunity under this code addresses law enforcement equipment rather than rubber fabrics, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to 11162117 or monitor the code separately for genuine rubber fabric solicitations from state or local entities.
