UNSPSC 11151502: Nylon fibers

UNSPSC 11151502 Nylon fibers is a Commodity code covering synthetic fiber products that state and local governments procure primarily for textile manufacturing, institutional clothing production, and facility furnishings. Recent solicitations under this code show state procurement offices buying nylon alongside complementary synthetic and natural fibers—including polypropylene, cotton, and vinyl—as part of broader textile and fiber line-item bundles. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has emerged as a significant repeat buyer, procuring nylon fabrics and fiber-based textiles for offender and employee clothing, bedding, and institutional furnishings across multiple correctional facilities.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, posted an IFB in June 2026 (solicitation 304T26850A2, due July 28, 2026) requesting 39 line items of textiles and fibers including nylon flags and fabrics, with quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16 million units depending on product type. The same TDCJ issued a separate procurement (IW246477, due April 13, 2026) under its standard terms and conditions; the specific commodity mix was not detailed in available documentation. Both solicitations required certified laboratory testing reports against ASTM and AATCC standards from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, firm all-inclusive pricing with FOB Destination terms, and compliance with Texas HUB subcontracting plans. Nylon fiber procurement under this code remains concentrated in Texas, particularly through TDCJ's institutional demand across facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton.
