Textiles - Towels, Washcloths, Cotton and Wool Blankets, and Acrylic Blend Blankets

The California Statewide Contract 1-22-72-02 is a comprehensive indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) for textile products, specifically covering towels, washcloths, and blankets across multiple categories. The contract enables procurement of terry cloth towels in various sizes and colors, cotton huck hand towels, wool blend blankets, cotton thermal blankets, and acrylic blend blankets. These products are intended for institutional use across California state agencies, with detailed specifications addressing material composition, dimensions, weight, color options, and manufacturing standards.

The master IDV is awarded to American Textile Systems and administered by the California Department of General Services (DGS) - Statewide Procurement. The contract has a performance period from September 7, 2022, to September 6, 2026, covering the entire state of California. While a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the contract provides a comprehensive pricing schedule with unit prices ranging from $2.25 for washcloths to $24.00 for large bath towels, offering state agencies a standardized procurement mechanism for textile products.

Under this IDV, at least one notable contract award has been made: a $7,072.07 procurement by the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation for 600 dozen terry cloth towels. This award demonstrates the contract's utility for state agencies to acquire specific textile goods through a pre-negotiated vehicle. The contract appears designed to streamline purchasing, ensure consistent product quality, and potentially support sustainable procurement goals, as evidenced by requirements for postconsumer recycled content and detailed technical specifications across multiple textile product categories.
