UNSPSC 11162123: Tape fabrics

UNSPSC 11162123 Tape fabrics (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity the code's recent opportunities reflect. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are solicitations for library and literacy materials and services — print books, classroom collections, shelf-ready library books, audiobooks, e-books, digital content licenses, literacy platforms, cataloging and processing services, and digital platform integration — none of which fall within the scope of tape or fabric products. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local opportunities database or a deliberate but unexplained use of the code for educational materials procurement.

The opportunities originate from school districts in Texas: Dallas Independent School District issued two RFPs (RR250363 and RR250347) both posted in late July and August 2026 for district-wide library and literacy services on an as-needed basis with three-year initial terms and two successive one-year renewal options, and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District posted an IFB (CRDG1026) in September 2026 for reading and video materials with a response deadline of October 1, 2026. Dallas ISD's RFPs emphasize SBE participation as a significant evaluation factor with an aspirational 30 percent SBE goal and up to 20 percentage points of evaluation score tied to SBE compliance and participation. Neither the Harlingen IFB nor the recent activity under this code demonstrates alignment with tape fabrics procurement, and firms pursuing tape-fabric sales should not rely on this code as a signal of relevant state and local demand.
