UNSPSC 11151714: Glass yarn

Glass yarn is made up of multiple continuous filaments of glass twisted or laid together - it is commonly used in filament tapes, casting products, and woven into glass cloth for electronic applications.

UNSPSC 11151714 Glass yarn, a Commodity code, describes specialized textile fibers and filament products that state and local governments procure for institutional and operational use. State and local solicitations under this code show textile fibers and woven or non-woven piece goods being bought for clothing, furnishings, and material-supply applications across correctional facilities, public agencies, and educational institutions. The issuing bodies are typically state procurement offices acting on behalf of large state departments — in the current market, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicits on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for offender and employee apparel, institutional textiles, and related materials. The scope of work includes yarn, filament products, woven and knit fabrics, non-woven materials, and finished textile goods meeting ASTM and AATCC testing standards, with detailed specifications for fiber content, weight, dimensional tolerances, and construction parameters. Bidders must supply certified laboratory test reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, and pricing is firm and fixed with FOB Destination terms, inclusive of shipping and a 1.5% administrative fee where applicable.

Texas is the primary jurisdiction showing recent activity under this code. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted IFB 304T26850A2 in June 2026 for textiles, fibers, and piece goods with a response deadline of July 28, 2026; the solicitation spans 39 line items including nylon flags and fabrics, twill fabrics, mesh bag fabric, thermal knit fabric, filament spun-bonded polypropylene, cotton batting and fiberfill, and jersey knit fabrics, with quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type. The contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options and one additional optional year, and price adjustments after the initial term are permitted only through Producer Price Index formulas. Respondents must submit pre-award samples within 60 calendar days and maintain commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence; no set-asides apply to this competitive solicitation.
