NIGP 50573: Sizing, Textile Finishing

NIGP 50573 Sizing, Textile Finishing is an Item code under which state and local governments procure textile processing services and materials—specifically sizing agents, finishing chemicals, and the labor and equipment to apply them to fabrics during manufacturing or preparation for end use. The code covers the chemical treatment of textiles to add stiffness, body, water resistance, flame retardancy, or other functional properties, as well as the finishing processes that enhance appearance, durability, or performance. State and local buyers under this code include departments of corrections (acquiring finished textiles for uniforms and institutional use), school districts (purchasing finished fabrics for furnishings and apparel), and municipalities (sourcing textiles for fleet uniforms, protective gear, or facility textiles). Repeat buyers are not identified in recent solicitation records.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 50573, making current market activity and geographic concentration indeterminate from available records.
