UNSPSC 73141701: Broad woven fabrics manufacturing services

UNSPSC 73141701 Broad woven fabrics manufacturing services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure commercial and institutional textiles—upholstery fabrics, drapery materials, awning and canvas goods, and vinyl-backed or faux-leather alternatives—typically through multi-year supply contracts with tiered volume pricing. The Connecticut Department of Administrative Services exemplifies the issuing-body mix: state procurement offices establish blanket-order frameworks that subordinate state agencies (in this case the Department of Correction) draw down on via individual purchase orders as need arises, rather than each agency procuring separately. Work under the code centers on fabric supply and availability across multiple colorways and material compositions, with vendors expected to meet specification conformity, maintain appropriate commercial insurance, and accept firm pricing for the initial contract year followed by index-based adjustments capped to U.S. Producer Price Index movement for textile products.

Connecticut's recent ITB 26PSX0164, posted August 7, 2026 with a response deadline of September 2, 2026, represents the primary visible activity under this code in state and local procurement. The solicitation covers awning, drapery, and upholstery fabrics including 100% polyolefin, vinyl-backed naugahyde, and woven upholstery stock; award is based primarily on pricing, with conformity to specifications, past performance, and delivery terms as secondary factors. Connecticut applies a micro-business price preference of up to 10% for firms with gross revenues not exceeding three million dollars, and an additional 15% preference for veteran-owned micro businesses certified by the Connecticut State Department of Veteran Affairs. The contract term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031, with volume-based discounts across three fabric categories and delivery on a free-on-board destination basis. No additional recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the current activity stream.
