NIGP 59038: Knitted Cuffs

NIGP 59038 Knitted Cuffs, an Item code, describes a narrow commodity line — elastic or knitted wrist cuffs typically used in custodial, healthcare, or uniform applications — that state and local governments procure through routine competitive purchasing. State departments of criminal justice represent the primary buying activity documented under this code. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for knitted cuffs, indicating ongoing operational demand, likely for inmate clothing or uniform components issued across correctional facilities statewide.

Texas dominates the recent solicitation activity under this code. The TDCJ issued an IFB for knitted cuffs with a response deadline of August 14, 2026 (solicitation IW261877), posted August 7, 2026, requiring electronic submission through the TDCJ Procurement Portal at https://tdcj.bonfirehub.com and vendor registration through Euna Procurement. An earlier TDCJ competitive solicitation (IW243930) also sought knitted cuffs and included HUB certification eligibility and standard state compliance certifications covering E-Verify, suspension and debarment status, antitrust law, child support obligations, and various boycott and foreign-ownership restrictions. Contact for technical or portal issues is Daton Splawn, CTCD, at daton.splawn@tdcj.texas.gov. No award values, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges are disclosed in available documentation. The code shows low solicitation volume and narrow issuing-body concentration, suggesting activity remains episodic and tied to specific custodial procurement cycles rather than sustained multi-jurisdiction demand.
