UNSPSC 11162200: Nonwoven fabrics

UNSPSC 11162200 Nonwoven fabrics is a Class code that encompasses upholstery, drapery, and awning fabrics acquired by state and local government entities for maintenance of facilities, furniture, and outdoor infrastructure. Recent solicitation activity shows state purchasing departments buying specific commercial and institutional fabric products—woven upholstery, faux leather, vinyl composites, polyolefin fibers, and canvas—typically priced per yard and supplied under volume-tiered discounts. The issuing body soliciting under this code is the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services on behalf of subordinate state agencies such as the Department of Correction, indicating that state procurement offices function as central purchasing vehicles for fabric and textile needs across multiple departments.

Connecticut is the primary recent source of activity under this code. The Connecticut Department of Administrative Services posted ITB 26PSX0164 on August 7, 2026, seeking awning, drapery, and upholstery fabrics with responses due September 2, 2026; the solicitation carries a micro-business price preference of up to 10% for firms with gross revenues not exceeding three million dollars and a 15% preference for veteran-owned micro businesses certified by Connecticut. The resulting contract runs five years (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031) with firm pricing for the first twelve months and indexed annual adjustments thereafter, with individual purchase orders issued as needed by state entities. Award criteria emphasize pricing as the primary factor, followed by specification conformity, past performance, financial responsibility, and delivery terms.
