NIGP 85044: Duck (Canvas), Untreated

NIGP 85044 Duck (Canvas), Untreated is an Item code describing untreated canvas duck fabric that state and local governments procure primarily for use in correctional facilities and emergency preparedness programs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple solicitations for duck canvas since January 2026, positioning this commodity as an active procurement line for the state correctional system. Duck canvas under this code serves as raw material for inmate work programs, institutional upholstery, storage, and equipment fabrication within prison facilities. The issuing body for the bulk of recent activity is a single state department—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—which has driven all seven documented solicitations in the dataset, with one additional procurement issued through the Texas Department of Information Resources as part of a cooperative purchasing vehicle for emergency management supplies across state agencies and political subdivisions.

All seven recent opportunities originate in Texas, with response dates ranging from January 23, 2026, through July 17, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited duck canvas under IFB and competitive sealed bid notices across solicitation numbers IW257617 (due July 17, 2026), IW252023 (due May 29, 2026), IW247217 (due April 27, 2026), IW245817 (due April 15, 2026), IW242332 (due March 27, 2026), IW238655 (due February 3, 2026), and IW237019A (due January 23, 2026). All submissions are made electronically through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire, with Daton Splawn, CTCD, serving as the primary contact. Solicitation IW243780, issued by the Texas Department of Information Resources on April 10, 2026, with a deadline of March 31, 2026, included cotton duck canvas as part of a statewide emergency supplies and equipment procurement for participating agencies and political subdivisions under DIR's cooperative purchasing program. The TDCJ solicitations include HUB subcontracting plan requirements mandating good faith efforts to achieve target percentages for woman-owned, minority-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned business participation. Responses must remain firm for 30 days from bid opening, with standard delivery timelines of 14 calendar days unless otherwise specified, and payment made 30 days after the later of invoice receipt, goods receipt, or service completion.
