UNSPSC 11151612: Asbestos thread

UNSPSC 11151612 Asbestos thread is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy textiles and fibrous materials under this code for institutional and operational use, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal asbestos-specific procurement. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-850A2 in June 2026 on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, soliciting a broad range of textile fibers and piece goods—including nylon fabrics, twill fabrics, cotton batting, fiberfill, jersey knit fabrics, and polypropylene—for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and other textile products at TDCJ facilities statewide. The scope encompasses 39 line items with expected quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type, and specifies detailed fiber-content and construction requirements under ASTM and AATCC standards. Respondents must submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories for all line items; pricing is firm and fixed on a mandatory price sheet with FOB Destination terms and a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee factored in. The initial contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options through May 31, 2030.

Activity under this code appears limited to this single recent Texas solicitation. The IFB closed to responses on June 25, 2026, with pre-award sample submissions required within 60 calendar days of Notice of Award. Respondents must carry commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence and comply fully with all documentation and addenda requirements or face disqualification. No set-asides apply; the solicitation is competitive and open to all qualified respondents.
