UNSPSC 11151612: Asbestos thread

UNSPSC 11151612 Asbestos thread is a Commodity code that in practice covers a broad range of textile fibers and piece goods procured by state institutions, not asbestos-specific materials. Recent state and local solicitations show purchasing of nylon fabrics, twill fabrics, mesh bag fabric, thermal knit fabric, greige sheeting, spun-bonded polypropylene, cotton batting and fiberfill, cotton waste, jersey knit fabrics, and clear vinyl—goods used for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and related textile products at correctional and other state facilities. The primary issuing body on record is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which has posted multiple solicitations under this code for institutional textile needs. Solicitations are structured as competitive IFBs with no set-asides, open to all qualified respondents, and require certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, firm all-inclusive pricing with FOB Destination terms, and compliance with state administrative fee requirements and insurance thresholds.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division posted IFB 304T-26-850A2 on June 18, 2026, with a bid due date of June 25, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time, soliciting 39 line items of textiles and fibers for TDCJ facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton, with quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units per line item and initial contract term through May 31, 2027 plus four renewal options. TDCJ also issued solicitation IW246477 on March 30, 2026, with a proposal due date of April 13, 2026; while specific goods are not detailed in available documentation, the procurement includes HUB subcontracting plan requirements and standard state compliance mandates including E-Verify, suspension and debarment certification, and electronic funds transfer enrollment. Contracts require commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence and price adjustments tied to Producer Price Index formulas with specified BLS index correlation.
