UNSPSC 11162301: Chamois leather

UNSPSC 11162301 Chamois leather is a Commodity code representing specialized cleaning and polishing cloths used in operational and maintenance contexts. State and local governments procure chamois leather products primarily as consumable supplies for facilities maintenance, vehicle care, and specialized cleaning applications across fire rescue, public works, and general janitorial operations. The code reflects demand for high-absorbency, lint-free cloth materials that meet durability and performance standards for repeated use in demanding public-sector environments. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county purchasing departments and special-purpose public-safety agencies, with county-level procurement offices managing consolidated buying for multi-station operations.

Recent activity shows limited direct solicitation specifically tagged to chamois leather. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026 (due July 24, 2026) for janitorial and operational supplies serving 47 fire stations within Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year; the ITB scope includes consumable cleaning materials that may encompass chamois products as part of a broader supply line, though chamois is not explicitly itemized in the publicly available description. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida, with Hillsborough County representing the most recent state and local procurement activity. The lack of standalone chamois solicitations suggests the commodity is typically bundled within broader janitorial or equipment-maintenance line items rather than procured as a discrete category.
