UNSPSC 11151506: Rayon fibers

UNSPSC 11151506 Rayon fibers, a Commodity code, covers synthetic and cellulose fibers procured by state and local governments for textile manufacturing and institutional use. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchasing of raw fibers and finished textile goods including nylon fabrics, twill fabrics, mesh, thermal knit, greige sheeting, spun-bonded polypropylene, cotton batting, jersey knits, and vinyl materials. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is a primary buyer, procuring these materials for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and other textile products at its facilities. The issuing bodies consist primarily of state procurement offices acting on behalf of state agencies — notably the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, which manages cooperative purchasing vehicles and blanket contracts for multiple state end-users.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, where the TDCJ has solicited textiles through multiple IFBs and ITBs. The Texas Comptroller posted IFB 304T-26-850A2 on June 18, 2026, requesting bids on 39 line items of textiles and fibers with a due date of July 28, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued ITB IW246477 on March 30, 2026, with an April 13, 2026 deadline, governed by HUB subcontracting requirements. Both solicitations specify firm, all-inclusive pricing, FOB Destination terms with freight prepaid, and compliance with ASTM and AATCC testing standards. Expected order quantities range from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units per line item depending on product type. The Texas SmartBuy 1.5% administrative fee applies to pricing submissions. No set-asides are noted in the IFB, though the ITB includes a HUB Subcontracting Plan requirement. Initial contract terms run through May 31, 2027, with renewal options extending through May 31, 2030, plus one additional optional year.
