UNSPSC 42132108 Hospital pillow covers or pillowcases, a Commodity code, covers bedding supplies for correctional and institutional facilities, though recent state and local solicitations reveal the code is being applied to a broader range of inmate supplies including both flat sheets and quilted mattress covers with attached sheets. Chatham County is currently the only issuing body on record sourcing under this code through recent ITB activity. The work involves furnishing percale flat sheets, quilted mattress covers, and related institutional linens on a recurring annual basis with multi-year renewal options, requiring vendors to maintain minimum inventory levels, provide product samples and manufacturer specifications, and demonstrate experience through references with similar institutional supply requirements.

Recent procurement activity centers on Georgia, where Chatham County Detention Center in Savannah posted an ITB (Solicitation 26-0101-6) on August 18, 2026, with bids due September 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The solicitation calls for 400 dozen lightweight poly/cotton blended percale flat sheets annually and 4,800 units of quilted mattress covers with attached quilted sheets annually under a one-year contract with four optional one-year renewals. The county has established a 30 percent combined M/WBE participation goal and requires good faith efforts in M/WBE subcontracting. Vendors must maintain a minimum 20 percent stock level of annual contract requirements, provide three references with similar service experience preferably within Georgia, submit product samples by bid opening, and carry minimum commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance of $1,000,000 and $500,000 respectively. Bids are submitted through the Chatham County Purchasing Portal; pricing must remain firm for 60 days from bid opening and include all delivery and handling charges on an F.O.B. basis to Savannah.
