UNSPSC 25172118: Airbag fabric assembly

Fabric used in the manufacture of automotive inflatable restraints that has been sewn and/or attached to other components of the airbag final part

UNSPSC 25172118 Airbag fabric assembly (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The single substantive opportunity posted under this code—from the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement—does not align with the code's nominal scope; Detroit solicited ethylene glycol antifreeze concentrate and premixed formulations for the Department of Transportation's Extended Service Interval program, a fluid-management application unrelated to automotive airbag textiles. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity's UNSPSC classification or that state and local purchasing offices are applying the code inconsistently across procurement categories.

The Detroit RFQ (551483, due October 9, 2026) called for approximately 24,000 gallons annually in both bulk and 55-gallon-drum formats, with bidders required to hold hazardous-materials transportation licensing in Michigan and maintain $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance. Detroit-based business certifications (D-BB, D-RB, D-HB, D-SB, D-MB) received equalization credits of one to five percent; awards were subject to a two-year initial term with renewal options. No other state or local opportunities under this code were identified in the recent posting block. Given the mismatch between the code's stated category and the sole substantive opportunity on record, firms should verify actual procurement intent through direct contact with issuing offices rather than relying on UNSPSC classification alone for this particular code.
