UNSPSC 11162138: Gauze fabric

A type of narrow weave fabric used for bandaging

UNSPSC 11162138 Gauze fabric is a Commodity code that encompasses medical and industrial gauze textiles purchased by state and local jurisdictions, though the recent activity captured in the source reflects a broader procurement pattern. The City of Dallas's March 2026 IFB for shade fabric-covered structures suggests that state and local buyers classify diverse fabric products—including outdoor shade structures and weatherproofing materials—under gauze-related codes when the nominal taxonomy does not precisely fit. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code range from municipal procurement offices to public health departments, facilities management bureaus, and school districts, though the available data supports Dallas as the primary recent buyer. The scope of work typically includes new, unopened gauze and fabric materials for medical, protective, or structural applications, delivered FOB to a designated site with warranty coverage and vendor responsibility for freight and defective-goods replacement.

The City of Dallas posted an IFB (Solicitation #IFSPKRB2300024) on March 10, 2026 for purchase of shade fabric-covered structures, with a March 17, 2026 response deadline, requiring online bid submission via the city's Bonfire portal. The solicitation mandates FOB delivery pricing to 5620 Parkdale Drive, Dallas, Texas 75227, general liability and workers compensation insurance, a one-year unconditional warranty, and compliance with the City of Dallas Conflict of Interest Policy. Quote prices must remain firm for thirty days after receipt, and the city reserves the right to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or reject all bids. No explicit set-asides or vendor-type restrictions appear in the available materials. The procurement pattern is concentrated in Texas, with limited visibility into activity across other states or jurisdictions in the recent-opportunities block.
