Sewing Accessories and Supplies

The Texas State and Local Contract IDV 590-A1 is a comprehensive term contract for sewing accessories and supplies, primarily focused on providing textile-related materials and equipment to various Texas state agencies. The contract covers a diverse range of products including white knitted elastic (sold in 50-yard rolls), end rubber elastic webbing, sewing scissors, office supplies, and miscellaneous workplace items. Key procurement categories include textile materials for garment manufacturing, particularly for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Institutional Division's garment factories located in Abilene and Gatesville, as well as standard office supplies for multiple state agencies.

The master IDV is managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division and has two primary contractors: State Narrow Fabrics, Inc. (based in Long Island City, New York) and WorkQuest, Inc. (located in Austin, Texas). The contract has a consistent performance period from December 1, 2020, to November 30, 2025, covering the state of Texas. It is structured as a term contract, allowing multiple state agencies including TDCJ, Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Department of Transportation, Health and Human Services Commission, and the Office of the Attorney General to procure supplies through pre-negotiated pricing and terms.

Under this IDV, multiple contract awards have been executed, totaling approximately $251,136.30 across various purchases. The awards range from small procurements of office supplies (such as $7-$26 orders for scissors) to larger textile material orders, with the largest single award being an $86,040.00 purchase of 12,000 pounds of elastic webbing. Most awards are made to State Narrow Fabrics, Inc., with smaller orders fulfilled by WorkQuest, Inc. The contract includes tax exemptions under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) and typically allows for a 10% overage on ordered quantities. Delivery locations span multiple Texas cities, with most orders targeting specific state agency facilities and requiring delivery within 30-90 days after receipt of order.
