UNSPSC 11162130: Dossal

UNSPSC 11162130 Dossal is a Commodity code that captures decorative liturgical and ecclesiastical textiles — specifically altar hangings, communion linens, and similar ceremonial fabrics — that state and local governments procure for religious facilities, institutional chapels, and public buildings with designated sacred spaces. Recent state and local activity under the code, however, reflects substantially broader textile procurement across institutional and correctional settings. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) are the primary visible issuers, sourcing cotton batting, fiberfill, twill and knit fabrics, greige sheeting, spun-bonded polypropylene, mesh bag fabric, nylon flags, jersey knits, vinyl, and cotton waste for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and facility-wide textile products at multiple TDCJ locations. The issuing bodies are state procurement offices and state agencies rather than counties, cities, or school districts; the activity is concentrated in statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct state agency procurements.

Recent opportunities reflect competitive solicitation activity in Texas. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-850A2 on June 18, 2026, with bids due July 28, 2026, for 39 line items of textiles and piece goods spanning nylon flags, twill fabrics, mesh bag fabric, thermal knit, cotton batting and fiberfill, jersey knits, and vinyl — all destined for TDCJ facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton with expected quantities from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type. Bidders must submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, factor a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee into pricing, and quote FOB Destination with firm, fixed unit prices. The contract runs through May 31, 2027, with four renewal options and one additional optional year. TDCJ also issued a separate IFB (IW246477) on March 30, 2026, due April 13, 2026, with comprehensive HUB subcontracting plan requirements and E-Verify compliance mandates, though the specific goods in that solicitation are not detailed in the available documentation. Geographic activity is limited to Texas in the recent opportunities block; no other states appear in the records provided.
