UNSPSC 11162129: Marquisette cloth

UNSPSC 11162129 Marquisette cloth is a Commodity code that covers textile piece goods—specifically open-weave or semi-open fabrics—sourced by state and local governments for institutional and operational uses. State and local procurement under this code encompasses a broader range of textile fibers and piece goods than the code name alone suggests; recent solicitations show demand for nylon fabrics, twill, mesh fabrics, thermal knit, cotton batting, jersey knits, vinyl, and polypropylene materials in addition to marquisette-class goods. The issuing bodies include state-level purchasing divisions and their customer agencies—in this case, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for use across correctional facilities.

The Texas market shows the most recent activity under the code. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted IFB 304T-26-850A2 on June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of July 28, 2026, for 39 line items of textiles, fibers, and piece goods totaling quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice operates procurement across five facilities (Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton) and requires certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, submission of pre-award samples within 60 calendar days, firm fixed pricing inclusive of a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee and all FOB Destination delivery costs, and commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence. The initial contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options extending through May 31, 2030, plus one additional optional year exercisable at the Comptroller's discretion.
