UNSPSC 11151613: Metal thread

Thread made partially or entirely of metal.

UNSPSC 11151613 Metal thread (Commodity) covers thread products sourced by state and local institutions, primarily sewing and weaving threads used in correctional facilities, manufacturing, and institutional supply chains. Recent state and local solicitations show actual procurement focused on industrial and institutional-grade thread in standard colors—black and natural—procured through blanket purchase orders to support ongoing operational needs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominates recent activity under this code, issuing multiple IFBs for sewing thread and black thread supplies to support inmate work programs and facility operations.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted four thread procurement solicitations between May 1 and June 23, 2026, all structured as blanket purchase order requests with response dates of May 20, 2026 (IFBs IW250301 for sewing thread and IW250321 for black thread). The solicitations were posted on the TDCJ Procurement Portal via the Bonfire Hub platform, with inquiries directed to Daton Splawn at daton.splawn@tdcj.texas.gov. No award values, set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or detailed quantity specifications were disclosed in the available solicitation summaries. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, with no visible geographic spread to other states or jurisdictions in the current opportunity record.
