UNSPSC 11151504: Acrylic fibers

UNSPSC 11151504 Acrylic fibers is a Commodity code covering textile fibers and related materials that state and local governments procure for institutional use, employee and inmate clothing, furnishings, and other operational needs. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, recently issued IFB 304T-26-850A2 in June 2026 requesting bids on textiles, fibers, and piece goods with response deadline July 28, 2026. The scope spans 39 line items including nylon fabrics, twill, mesh bag fabric, thermal knit fabric, cotton batting and fiberfill, cotton waste, jersey knit fabrics, and vinyl — with expected quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type. The primary customer, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, uses these materials for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and other textile products at facilities across the state. Pricing must be firm and all-inclusive with FOB Destination terms; bidders must factor a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee into pricing. The initial contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options through May 31, 2030, and one additional optional year. Contractors must submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories for all line items, maintain commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, and comply with detailed ASTM and AATCC testing standards.

Recent activity under this code is limited to the Texas procurement noted above. No other state or local opportunities are evident in the source, and geographic spread cannot be characterized beyond Texas. This Commodity code appears to see sporadic solicitation activity — the Texas Department of Criminal Justice opportunity represents a substantial, multi-year institutional-textile contract with rigorous testing and documentation requirements, but broader state and local procurement patterns under acrylic fibers and related commodity codes remain unclear from available data.
