CPV 192 – Textile Fabrics and Related Products

What does CPV 192 cover?

CPV group 192 (19200000) classifies public contracts for textile fabrics and related products – fabrics made from cotton, wool, silk, synthetic fibres, and blended weaves; non-wovens; ribbons and trimmings; technical textiles; and other textile semi-finished goods and accessories. The group covers textile materials as raw materials for further processing and for technical applications.

In the public sector, textile fabrics are procured for workshops in vocational schools, correctional facilities with sewing operations, public tailoring departments, and municipal laundries. Public hospitals and care homes procure textile material for in-house production of bed linen and service clothing. Technical textiles are used in public construction and environmental operations.

Within CPV division 19, group 192 differs from group 194 (yarns) by its focus on woven rather than thread material. It is distinguished from CPV 18 (finished clothing) by its raw material character. Technical textiles (geotextiles, filter non-wovens) may also be classified in other CPV areas depending on the application. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
