UNSPSC 11162401: Cotton batting

A type of batting made from cotton.

UNSPSC 11162401 Cotton batting is a Commodity code, but the single recent state and local opportunity posted under it involves fabric-covered shade structures rather than cotton batting itself, suggesting a potential code-assignment mismatch in the source data. The City of Dallas issued IFB IFSPKRB2300024 on March 10, 2026, seeking new shade fabric structures for delivery to a municipal facility in Dallas, Texas, with a response deadline of March 17, 2026. Products must be new, unopened, and in original packaging with no substitutes accepted, and vendors must include freight costs in their FOB delivery pricing. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the City reserves the right to reject any or all quotes and waive minor irregularities. All goods carry a one-year unconditional warranty with vendor replacement of defective items at no cost to the City.

The code shows minimal recent activity and limited geographic spread within the state and local procurement market. The single identifiable opportunity comes from Dallas, Texas, a city procurement office using the Bonfire e-procurement platform. No set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types appear in the solicitation materials, though vendors must comply with the City of Dallas Conflict of Interest Policy and submit current insurance certificates prior to purchase order release. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (cotton batting, a fibrous fill material) and the actual work posted (fabric-covered shade structures) suggests that this code may not be the primary procurement vehicle for cotton batting in state and local contracting, or that the source data contains a classification error. Practitioners pursuing cotton batting opportunities should verify code assignments independently and monitor broader fabric and textile codes for relevant activity.
