UNSPSC 11162400: Batting

Fabrics used in quilting to provide a layer of insulation between a top layer of patchwork and a bottom layer of backing material. It is usually made of cotton, polyester, and or wool.

UNSPSC 11162400 Batting is a Class code covering fabric-covered shade structures and similar goods that state and local governments purchase for outdoor facilities and public spaces. The City of Dallas recently solicited bids for shade fabric-covered structures through an IFB notice, indicating demand for durable outdoor shade solutions in municipal applications. State and local issuing bodies procure under this code primarily through cities and municipal governments seeking to outfit parks, recreation areas, and public facilities with weather-resistant shade infrastructure. The work involves sourcing new, unopened products in original packaging with no substitutions accepted, delivered on an FOB basis with vendors absorbing freight costs. Vendors must carry general liability and workers compensation insurance and provide one-year unconditional warranties covering replacement of defective goods at no cost to the buyer.

The City of Dallas posted the primary recent opportunity (Solicitation IFSPKRB2300024, due March 17, 2026) for delivery to a Dallas municipal address. The solicitation required online bidding through the city's Bonfire portal and awarded the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors must comply with the City of Dallas Conflict of Interest Policy and file a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire within seven business days of becoming aware of disclosure-triggering facts, including any relationships with local government officers or their families. The city is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes, so vendors should exclude these from pricing. Quote prices must remain firm for thirty days after receipt unless extended by written agreement, and vendors bear the cost of freight and removal of rejected goods.
