NIGP 59076: Thread, Sewing, Commercial (Not Shoe Stitching)

NIGP 59076 Thread, Sewing, Commercial (Not Shoe Stitching) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure sewing thread for institutional and operational use, including polyester thread for garment manufacturing and general supplies. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued multiple solicitations for sewing thread — both generic thread and black thread — through blanket purchase orders to supply its facilities, including a specific procurement for 15,500 cone units of 100% polyester Champion Thread for the Wainwright Unit Garment Factory in Lovelady, Texas. Issuing bodies under this code include state corrections agencies and regional water authorities. TDCJ appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple thread procurements in the recent period.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. TDCJ solicitation IW250321 for black thread and IW250301 for sewing thread both posted May 1, 2026 with response deadlines of May 20, 2026, establishing blanket purchase orders for ongoing thread supply. An earlier TDCJ solicitation, IW227061, posted March 20, 2026, sought 15,500 cone units of Champion Thread (T-40 poly champcore neutral, size PLY 2) for the Wainwright Unit Garment Factory with a contract term from award through August 31, 2026 and an IFB opening scheduled for September 12, 2025 at 3 P.M., accepting electronic bids at bids@tdcj.texas.gov. The North Texas Municipal Water District also posted solicitation 26169B on July 16, 2026 for fiberglass weir plates and scum baffles, due August 7, 2026, though this item falls outside typical thread procurement scope and may represent a miscoded or cross-referenced opportunity. Vendors responding to TDCJ thread procurements must register through the Euna Procurement website and comply with extensive security and certification requirements for delivery to correctional facilities.
