UNSPSC 11151611: Spandex thread

UNSPSC 11151611 Spandex thread is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure sewing thread, primarily in black and neutral colors, for institutional garment manufacturing and repair operations. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated in correctional facilities and similar state operations that maintain in-house garment production; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple blanket purchase orders and invitation-for-bid solicitations for sewing thread supply, including a specific procurement for 15,500 cone units of 100% polyester sewing thread (Champion Thread brand, T-40 poly, neutral white, size PLY 2) for the Wainwright Unit Garment Factory in Lovelady. State procurement offices issue these opportunities, with TDCJ appearing as the sole identified recent buyer; the code does not show activity across multiple state departments or issuing bodies at this time.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Texas, where the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Procurement Portal (operated via Bonfire Hub) has posted four sewing thread solicitations since May 2026 — two blanket purchase orders for black thread and sewing thread (IW250321 and IW250301, both with May 20, 2026 response deadlines) and one prior IFB for the Wainwright Unit with an opening date of September 12, 2025 and contract term through August 31, 2026. The source supports no recent activity in other states. Bidders responding to TDCJ solicitations must register through the Euna Procurement website, submit electronically via the procurement portal, and comply with TDCJ Standard Terms and Conditions; vendors should contact Daton Splawn (daton.splawn@tdcj.texas.gov) for solicitation questions. Award values and detailed quantity specifications are not disclosed in the available opportunity summaries, requiring interested vendors to consult full solicitation documents on the TDCJ Procurement Portal.
