UNSPSC 73141700: Fabrics and leather production

UNSPSC 73141700 Fabrics and leather production (Class) encompasses raw textile materials and related components that state and local governments procure for manufacturing and operational uses. The Connecticut Department of Correction's Correctional Industries division solicited raw textile materials in various colors, compositions, and specifications through an Invitation to Bid for use in manufacturing finished products — a representative scope for the code. Issuing bodies include state departments and specialized correctional or industrial divisions within them; the Connecticut example illustrates purchasing activity by executive-branch agencies sourcing materials for inmate labor programs and facility operations.

Recent activity shows the code generating procurement in Connecticut as of April 2026. The Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Department of Correction, posted ITB 26PSX0082 for raw textile materials with a response deadline of May 28, 2026 (later clarified as May 19, 2026, for pricing submissions). Award criteria ranked pricing, conformity to specifications, past performance, financial responsibility, and delivery terms in descending order of importance. Vendors were required to provide three references, submit comprehensive questionnaires addressing company history and compliance, and comply with Connecticut nondiscrimination, ethics, and Iran sanctions statutes. The solicitation made no reference to set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or budget ranges.
