NIGP 59037: Interlining, Fusible

NIGP 59037 Interlining, Fusible is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fusible interlining materials used in textile and apparel production. The code captures inputs for manufacturing garments, particularly in institutional and commercial settings where durability and performance standards are critical—such as correctional facility uniforms, work clothing, and other specialized wear. Recent solicitation activity shows state procurement offices issuing competitive bids for these materials, with evaluation criteria focused on material specification compliance, cost-effectiveness, and vendor capacity to meet state production timelines and quality standards.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted a competitive bid solicitation (IW240062) on April 13, 2026, for materials used in shirt production, with a final bid opening date of March 3, 2026. The procurement required firm pricing valid for 30 days from bid opening and delivery within 14 calendar days. Bids were subject to Amendment No. 1, extending the original February 26 opening to March 2, with bidders required to acknowledge the amendment or face potential rejection. TDCJ set standard state compliance terms including E-Verify certification, suspension and debarment status verification, and antitrust certifications, with payment at net 30 days after the later of invoice receipt, goods receipt, or service completion. Bidders registered with CTCD contact Stephen Smith to receive amendments posted on the Electronic State Business Daily. The solicitation did not disclose specific award values or budget allocations, though contracts were funded through state IT and materials budget lines. Texas appears to be the primary recent jurisdiction posting activity under this code.
