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 (Class) covers specialized textiles and fabric materials procured by state and local agencies for operational, institutional, and specialized manufacturing purposes. State and local governments use this code to source engineered fabrics and batting products — materials with defined weave patterns, weight specifications, and performance characteristics — for applications including laundry operations, industrial processing, and facility support functions. Recent solicitations show correctional facilities and state agencies sourcing high-volume fabric inventory under small-purchase procurement rules with small business set-asides, indicating steady demand for compliance-heavy supply contracts in the institutional sector.

The Illinois Department of Corrections' Menard Correctional Center posted an IFB (Solicitation Number 27426DOCMENARB53582) on August 12, 2026, with a response deadline of August 18, 2026, seeking 40,000 yards of 60-inch white polyester mesh material (4.5 ounces per square yard, 24-gauge raschel weave, hexagonal pattern) for fiscal year 2027 laundry bags under a small business set-aside. Delivery was required by June 30, 2027, F.O.B. Destination, with all transportation and security protocols built into the vendor's pricing; the contract included standard commercial liability and workers' compensation insurance requirements and mandatory Illinois state certifications. The source shows no other recent state and local opportunities under this code; activity appears limited to the Illinois procurement noted above.
