Thread made partially or entirely of metal.

UNSPSC 11151613 Metal thread is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure thread for institutional garment production and facility operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has recently solicited sewing thread and black thread through multiple blanket purchase order bids, including a specialized procurement for Champion Thread 100% polyester sewing thread (T-40 poly champcore, size PLY 2, neutral white) for the Wainwright Unit Garment Factory in Lovelady, Texas. These solicitations represent thread supply for correctional facility garment manufacturing and general TDCJ operations, with procurement conducted through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via the Bonfire Hub platform.

Recent activity under the code clusters heavily in Texas, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice as the primary issuing body. Four documented solicitations posted between May 1 and June 23, 2026, covering sewing thread and black thread through solicitation numbers IW250301, IW250321, and IW227061.
