UNSPSC 11151610: Rubber or latex thread

UNSPSC 11151610 Rubber or latex thread, a Commodity code, covers sewing and work thread procured by state and local agencies for institutional operations. Recent activity shows state procurement offices and correctional facilities buying thread for ongoing operational needs through blanket purchase orders and spot-buy arrangements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the primary recent buyer under this code, soliciting both black thread and general sewing thread to support facility operations across its system.

The geographic activity concentrates in Texas, where TDCJ has issued multiple thread solicitations through the Bonfire Hub procurement portal. TDCJ posted two blanket purchase order solicitations in May 2026—IW250301 for sewing thread and IW250321 for black thread—each with a response deadline of May 20, 2026. Both solicitations were issued as IFBs (invitation for bid) through the TDCJ Procurement Portal, with vendors required to register through the Euna Procurement website and submit documents electronically. The solicitation documents do not disclose contract award values, quantities, or specific technical specifications in publicly available summaries, and no set-aside or disadvantaged enterprise designations are noted. Vendors should direct inquiries to TDCJ Procurement Contact Daton Splawn (daton.splawn@tdcj.texas.gov) and consult the complete solicitation packages on the TDCJ Procurement Portal at https://tdcj.bonfirehub.com for evaluation criteria, pricing requirements, and TDCJ Standard Terms and Conditions that govern award.
