UNSPSC 11151611: Spandex thread

UNSPSC 11151611 Spandex thread, a Commodity code, covers specialized sewing and thread products that state and local governments procure for facility operations and inmate programs in correctional settings. Recent solicitations under this code show state agencies sourcing sewing thread and black thread as blanket purchase orders to support ongoing institutional needs, though the nominal code name (spandex thread) diverges from what is actually being bought — the recent records reflect general-purpose sewing and black thread rather than elasticated spandex-specific products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the primary buyer visible in current activity, issuing multiple blanket purchase order solicitations through the Bonfire Hub procurement portal to establish ongoing supply relationships rather than one-time purchases.

TDCJ has posted solicitations IW250301 (sewing thread) and IW250321 (black thread) with identical response deadlines of May 20, 2026, both structured as invitations for bid on blanket purchase orders to support TDCJ operations across its facilities. Activity to date is concentrated in Texas. Vendors responding must register through the Euna Procurement website, submit documentation electronically via the TDCJ Procurement Portal, and accept TDCJ standard terms and conditions; the available documentation does not disclose contract award values, budget ranges, quantities, detailed specifications, or set-aside designations. Inquiries should be directed to TDCJ Procurement Contact Daton Splawn at daton.splawn@tdcj.texas.gov, with technical support available through Euna Procurement Support at support.bonfire@eunasolutions.com.
