UNSPSC 11151511: Polypropylene fibers

UNSPSC 11151511 Polypropylene fibers is a Commodity code purchasing spun-bonded polypropylene and related synthetic fiber textiles for state and local institutional use. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division solicits under this code on behalf of customer agencies; the sourced opportunity shows state departments as the primary issuing body, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice as the end-user driving demand for institutional textiles. State and local governments purchase polypropylene fibers primarily as finished or semi-finished textile products—spun-bonded polypropylene fabric, mesh goods, and fiberfill—rather than raw fiber, with applications in offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and facility linens. The scope of work involves meeting ASTM and AATCC testing standards, delivering certified laboratory test reports from domestic U.S.-based labs, providing FOB Destination pricing with all shipping included, and maintaining commercial general liability insurance.

Texas dominates the recent activity under this code. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-850A2, due July 28, 2026, solicited 39 line items of textiles and fibers including filament spun-bonded polypropylene, with expected quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type and minimum order quantities specified per line item. The contract term runs from the Notice of Award through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options through May 31, 2030 and one additional optional year. Primary delivery locations span multiple TDCJ facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton, Texas. Pricing must be firm and fixed, with a mandatory 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee factored into all bids. The solicitation imposed a June 12, 2026 questions deadline and required submission of certified laboratory testing reports dated no earlier than 12 months prior to the June 3, 2026 posting date, with pre-award samples requestable within 60 calendar days of award.
