UNSPSC 11162137: Tufted fabric other than carpet

Textile fabric woven a certain way

UNSPSC 11162137 Tufted fabric other than carpet is a Commodity code that covers specialized woven textiles procured by state agencies for institutional and operational use. State and local governments buy under this code industrial-weight fabrics—mesh materials, synthetic weaves, and technical textiles—for applications ranging from correctional-facility laundry bags to equipment covers and institutional furnishings. The recent solicitation activity reflects demand for high-specification synthetic fabrics that meet durability, dimensional, and weight standards for high-volume institutional processing and storage. State correctional and detention facilities are primary buyers under the code, purchasing fabrics for consumable goods like laundry bags that require bulk quantities and exact weave specifications. The code sees activity from state departments operating their own facilities; cooperative purchasing vehicles and small business set-asides are standard contracting mechanisms.

Illinois Department of Corrections issued a small purchase IFB in August 2026 through Menard Correctional Center requesting 40,000 yards of 60-inch white mesh material (60-inch width, 4.5 ounces per square yard, 100% polyester, 24-gauge raschel weave with hexagonal pattern) for fiscal year 2027 laundry bags, with bids due August 18, 2026 and all deliveries required by June 30, 2027. The solicitation carried a small business set-aside and required vendor compliance with Illinois State certifications, general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and security protocols including background checks for delivery personnel. Delivery was F.O.B. Destination with all transportation costs included in the quoted price, accepted at the facility warehouse dock Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., with bidders required to provide sample yards prior to award approval.
