UNSPSC 56101907: Slip covers

UNSPSC 56101907 Slip covers is a Commodity code that captures bedding and mattress protection products state and local governments procure for detention facilities, correctional institutions, and similar secure environments. Recent solicitations show concrete demand for quilted mattress covers with attached sheets and institutional-grade flat sheets, particularly in volumes suited to facility-wide inmate housing operations. Chatham County Detention Center in Georgia has been actively soliciting these items under multiple concurrent notices, indicating routine replenishment cycles and ongoing operational supply needs. Issuing bodies under this code appear concentrated among county correction departments and detention authorities managing secure facilities; the recent activity reflects operational procurement by detention center management rather than broader governmental purchasing across multiple service lines.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, where Chatham County has posted Invitation to Bid (ITB) 26-0101-6 and related solicitation 2601016 for annual inmate supplies due September 15, 2026. The ITB specifies 400 dozen lightweight poly/cotton blended percale flat sheets and 4,800 units of quilted mattress covers annually, with delivery to 1050 Carl Griffin Drive, Savannah, Georgia on an F.O.B. basis. The contract runs one year with four optional renewal years contingent on mutual agreement. Chatham County has established a 30% combined M/WBE participation goal and requires bidders to submit manufacturer specification data sheets, product samples by bid deadline, and a minimum of three references with similar service requirements, preferably within Georgia. Vendors must maintain minimum stock of 20% of annual contract requirements, carry $1,000,000 commercial general liability and $500,000 workers' compensation insurance, and hold a current Chatham County Tax Certificate. Payment occurs within 30 days of invoice approval; bid pricing must remain firm for 60 days post-opening.
