UNSPSC 11151502: Nylon fibers

UNSPSC 11151502 Nylon fibers is a Commodity code covering synthetic textile materials and fibers that state and local governments procure for institutional use, including apparel, furnishings, and related products. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, solicited nylon fibers and related textiles under IFB 304T-26-850A2 in June 2026, with bids due July 28, 2026, for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The scope encompasses nylon flags, nylon-component fabrics, mesh bag fabric, and assorted synthetic and blended textile products specified to ASTM and AATCC standards, with expected quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product line. The state procurement office is the primary issuing body visible in recent activity under this code, sourcing materials for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and facility textiles across TDCJ locations in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton. Bidders must submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, with tests dated no earlier than 12 months prior to posting; pricing must be firm and all-inclusive with FOB Destination terms and a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee factored in. The contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options through May 31, 2030, and one additional optional year that the state may unilaterally exercise.

Recent activity under this code is concentrated in Texas, with no other state or local opportunities visible in the source block. The IFB from the Texas Comptroller represents the only recent opportunity recorded, suggesting that procurement under this specific commodity code remains limited in scope and geographic reach across state and local jurisdictions. Vendors pursuing this code should anticipate competitive bidding on institutional textile specifications, domestic U.S. manufacturing or sourcing requirements, ASTM-standard compliance, and multi-year contract terms with index-based price adjustment formulas tied to BLS producer-price data.
