UNSPSC 11151602: Silk thread

UNSPSC 11151602 Silk thread, a Commodity code, covers thread products that state and local governments procure for institutional operations and maintenance. Recent activity shows state and local buyers purchasing sewing thread and black thread through blanket purchase orders to support ongoing facility needs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has been the primary issuing body under this code, using it to source thread supplies for correctional facility operations through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub.

Activity under this code concentrates in Texas, where TDCJ has issued multiple solicitations for thread procurement. TDCJ posted two blanket purchase order solicitations in May 2026 — IW250301 for sewing thread and IW250321 for black thread — both with a response deadline of May 20, 2026. The solicitations do not disclose contract values, specific quantities, or detailed technical specifications in available summaries; bidders must consult complete procurement documents posted on the TDCJ Procurement Portal for evaluation criteria, pricing requirements, and performance terms. TDCJ's Standard Terms and Conditions govern awarded contracts. No set-aside designations, incumbent vendor information, or disadvantaged enterprise preferences are noted in available documentation.
