UNSPSC 11151501: Acetate fibers

UNSPSC 11151501 Acetate fibers is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broad range of textile fibers and piece goods state and local governments source for institutional and operational use. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local procurement of cotton batting, fiberfill, nylon fabrics, twill fabrics, mesh materials, jersey knits, polypropylene, and vinyl—materials purchased for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and general textile products. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments, particularly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which appears as a repeat buyer across multiple solicitations for textile materials supporting correctional facilities.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division posting IFB 304T-26-850A2 on June 18, 2026, requesting bids on textiles and fibers across 39 line items for delivery to TDCJ facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton, with bids due July 28, 2026. Expected quantities range from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type. Bidders must submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories for all line items, with pricing firm and all-inclusive of freight under FOB Destination terms; a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applies. The initial contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options through May 31, 2030, plus one additional optional year. A second TDCJ solicitation (IW246477) was posted March 30, 2026, with proposals due April 13, 2026, though the specific goods were not detailed in available documentation; that procurement included HUB subcontracting plan requirements and standard state compliance provisions for E-Verify and debarment certification.
