UNSPSC 11151504: Acrylic fibers

UNSPSC 11151504 Acrylic fibers is a Commodity code covering synthetic fiber materials and textile inputs that state and local governments procure for institutional clothing, furnishings, and operational use. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) represents the primary recent buyer under this code, sourcing fibers and textile piece goods including nylon, polypropylene, cotton batting, and jersey knit fabrics for offender and employee garments, institutional furnishings, and related textile products at multiple facility locations. Issuing bodies are predominantly state procurement divisions acting on behalf of corrections and institutional departments; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division has posted competitive solicitations serving TDCJ's textile needs across a range of fiber types and specifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-850A2 on June 18, 2026, with bids due July 28, 2026, soliciting 39 line items of textiles and fibers including nylon, polypropylene, cotton batting, and jersey knit fabrics for TDCJ facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton. The scope encompasses quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type, with bidders required to submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories meeting ASTM and AATCC standards, firm all-inclusive pricing on a mandatory price sheet with FOB Destination terms, and commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence. The contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options through May 31, 2030, plus one additional optional year at the state's discretion. A second TDCJ solicitation, IW246477, posted March 30, 2026, with an April 13, 2026 response date, included a HUBZone subcontracting plan requirement and compliance with E-Verify, debarment certification, and indemnification provisions; specific goods or services in that solicitation were not detailed in available documentation.
