UNSPSC 11162124: Felt fabrics

UNSPSC 11162124 Felt fabrics is a Commodity code that state and local procurement records show being used to tag law enforcement equipment solicitations, though the code's nominal scope—felt textiles for industrial or commercial use—does not align with the actual work being procured. The recent activity in the source reflects a mismatch between the code label and the goods being bought; felt fabrics themselves do not appear in the posted opportunity language or scope. State and local procurement bodies occasionally assign codes to broader equipment categories in ways that do not correspond to the UNSPSC taxonomy's intended narrower commodity definition.

Sourcewell, the Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing unit, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and participating entities across the United States and Canada. The RFP is structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle intended to benefit thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, tribal governments, and other public entities. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal and direct inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity grounded in the actual commodity definition; the single posted opportunity represents a cooperative procurement framework that does not align with felt fabric manufacturing or supply.
