UNSPSC 11151709: Synthetic yarn

UNSPSC 11151709 Synthetic yarn is a Commodity code covering textile fibers and yarns procured by state and local governments for institutional clothing, furnishings, and related applications. State and local buyers under this code source a broad range of synthetic and blended fabric materials: nylon fabrics and flags, polypropylene spun-bonded filament, mesh fabrics, thermal knit goods, jersey knits, and related yarn-forward textile inputs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts represent the primary issuing bodies visible in recent activity, procuring these materials for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and other textile products across multiple state correctional facilities. The issuing body mix leans toward state corrections departments and centralized state procurement offices managing statewide contracts rather than counties, municipalities, or school districts.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, where the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division posted IFB 304T-26-850A2 on June 18, 2026 (due July 28, 2026) for textiles, fibers, and piece goods spanning 39 line items with expected quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type and serving TDCJ facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton. The contract runs through May 31, 2027 with four renewal options through May 31, 2030 and includes a unilateral optional year. Bidders must submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, maintain commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, and factor a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee into all pricing. A second TDCJ solicitation (IW246477, posted March 30, 2026, due April 13, 2026) included HUB subcontracting plan requirements and standard state compliance provisions. No set-asides are specified in the identified opportunities beyond HUB subcontracting goals.
