UNSPSC 31151511: Linen rope

Linen is a material made from the fibers of the flax plan, the linen rope is used in lots of fields like textile, footwear or others.

UNSPSC 31151511 Linen rope is a Commodity code describing cordage products that state and local governments procure for operational and emergency-response use. Recent solicitations show purchasing authorities buying paracord, nylon and polypropylene rope, wire rope slings, and twine in varying gauges and quantities for inventory stocking and departmental distribution. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices, county government, and fire rescue departments acquiring these materials for general operational supply needs. The code reflects real-world procurement of utility cordage rather than specialty linen products; state and local buyers source industrial-grade paracord and synthetic rope meeting military or commercial standards for use across multiple departments and functions.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. The City of Philadelphia issued an RFQ (B2728153) on October 1, 2026 for 550 Type III paracord in black and yellow due October 15, 2026, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a firm fixed-price, FOB Destination basis for a 365-day term. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00489 on July 30, 2026 for cord and rope inventory across twelve line items—including nylon cord, nylon rope, polypropylene rope, and wire rope slings in quantities ranging from 2 to 1,000 units—due August 25, 2026, with one-year award and five-business-day delivery windows. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies including cordage products for 47 fire stations, estimated at $765,679.84 over one year, due July 24, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP (061626) issued May 12, 2026 sought law enforcement equipment vendors for multistate use across Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, due June 16, 2026, though this RFP does not clearly isolate cordage procurement within its broader scope.
