UNSPSC 24111513: Cotton bag

A sack made of woven cotton fiber. This product has a string for hanging, tying or attaching by stitching.

UNSPSC 24111513 Cotton bag (Commodity) covers fabric bags and related assembly services procured by state and local governments, as evidenced by recent solicitations focused on duffle bags for youth services and trash and recycling bags for municipal operations. The scope includes custom or stock cotton and polyethylene bags in specified dimensions, colors, and closures, often with durability and sustainability features such as post-consumer recycled content or ASTM compliance certifications. Assembly services—such as printing, embroidery, or final packaging—are commonly bundled with bag supply. State and local issuers include state departments (notably the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services), cities (particularly Richardson, Texas), and counties, soliciting under State Use vehicles, RFPs, RFQs, and annual requirements contracts with single-vendor or competitive award models.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Illinois. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office awarded an $800,000 State Use contract to Sparc for duffle bags and assembly services for DCFS over a five-year initial term through an Invitation for Bid, with award effective July 30, 2026. The City of Richardson issued an RFP (Solicitation 70526) due June 16, 2026 for an annual requirements contract covering four polyethylene bag types—blue recycling bags in two sizes, black trash bags, and clear trash bags—with annual volumes from 100 to 35,000 rolls or boxes across 12 line items and specifications for 1.3–2.0 mil film thickness, dart impact strength, slip coefficient, and drop resistance. Evaluation was weighted 30 percent price, 30 percent qualifications and experience, 30 percent specification compliance and added value, and 10 percent reputation. The initial contract term runs one year with four renewal options. A pre-proposal conference was held May 28, 2026 via Zoom.
