UNSPSC 11162127: Camouflage cloth

UNSPSC 11162127 Camouflage cloth, a Commodity code, encompasses textile goods that state and local governments procure for institutional clothing, uniforms, furnishings, and related applications. Recent solicitations show the code is being used more broadly to capture textile and piece goods procurement — including nylon fabrics, twill, mesh, thermal knit, jersey knit, polypropylene, cotton batting, and vinyl — that support correctional facilities, institutional operations, and employee and offender apparel. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the primary visible buyer, soliciting textiles through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division under cooperative purchasing and standing IFB vehicles. These procurements are competitive and open to all qualified bidders; Texas applies a HUB (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) subcontracting requirement and mandatory SmartBuy administrative fees. Bidders must supply certified laboratory test reports from domestic U.S.-based labs, comply with ASTM and AATCC testing standards, maintain commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, and accept firm pricing with FOB Destination terms over multi-year contract periods.

Texas shows the strongest recent activity, with the Texas Comptroller issuing IFB 304T-26-850A2 for textiles due July 28, 2026 and the TDCJ posting a related procurement (IW246477) due April 13, 2026. The Texas Comptroller solicitation names 39 line items and expected quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type, with delivery to TDCJ facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton. Initial contract terms run through May 31, 2027 with up to four renewal options through May 31, 2030, and one additional optional year exercisable at the state's discretion. Price adjustments in renewal periods are indexed to Producer Price Index formulas tied to BLS indices. The source provides no evidence of activity in other states or from other issuing bodies.
