UNSPSC 11162117: Rubber fabrics

UNSPSC 11162117 Rubber fabrics (Commodity) encompasses marine-grade and specialized rubber and canvas materials that state and local agencies source for protective covering, equipment sealing, and tactical applications. Recent opportunities show state and local governments procuring custom-fabricated rubber and canvas articles for law enforcement and harbor operations — including bimini covers, side curtains, fire extinguisher covers, boat covers, tarps, and zipper repairs for specialized equipment use.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments and state cooperative purchasing vehicles. County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner, and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity representing thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and tribal governments across multiple states, have posted recent solicitations. The County of Orange opportunity (IFB MA06026010722SC, due February 6, 2026) sought repair and replacement services for marine canvas articles supporting Harbor Patrol operations across Corona Del Mar, Dana Point, and Sunset Beach on a time-and-material basis, with a five percent local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise preference available. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) targets law enforcement equipment broadly across participating jurisdictions in Washington state and beyond, with no specific set-aside designations identified in available documentation. Geographic activity centers on California and the Pacific Northwest, though Sourcewell's cooperative structure extends procurement reach nationally and into Canada. The code shows limited recent activity overall, with these two opportunities representing the primary state and local solicitation signals.
