UNSPSC 73141700: Fabrics and leather production

UNSPSC 73141700 Fabrics and leather production is a Class code encompassing raw textile materials and component sourcing for state and local manufacturing, processing, and institutional operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily raw fibers, yarns, fabrics in various compositions and specifications, and related textile components intended for use in downstream manufacturing, correctional industries production, or institutional supply chains. Issuing bodies include state departments and correctional agencies that operate in-house manufacturing or production divisions. The work is straightforward commodity procurement: vendors supply documented raw materials meeting stated specifications, quality standards, and delivery requirements, with award typically based on price conformity to spec, past performance, and delivery terms.

Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, acting on behalf of the Connecticut Department of Correction's Correctional Industries division, posted Invitation to Bid 26PSX0082 on April 28, 2026, closing May 28, 2026, for raw textile materials and related components to support manufacturing within the correctional facility. The solicitation requires vendors to submit complete product specifications and quality documentation; responses lacking such documentation face rejection. Award goes to the lowest responsible qualified respondent based on pricing, conformity to specifications, past performance, financial responsibility, and delivery terms in descending order of importance. Bidders must provide three references from separate organizations and complete comprehensive questionnaires covering debarment status, criminal convictions, OSHA compliance, and campaign contribution certifications. All submissions are electronic through CTsource, with public online pricing opening within twenty-four hours of the close. The Connecticut opportunity represents the most recent visible activity under this code in state and local procurement.
