UNSPSC 13111010: Nylon

UNSPSC 13111010 Nylon, a Commodity code, covers raw and finished nylon textile materials that state and local governments procure for institutional use, including nylon flags, fabrics, mesh bags, filament spun-bonded materials, and related piece goods. State and local buyers under this code include state departments and their operating agencies — particularly correctional systems — that source textiles for offender and employee clothing, institutional furnishings, and operational supplies. Solicitations typically specify fiber content, weight, color standards, dimensional requirements, and comprehensive ASTM and AATCC testing parameters. Bidders must submit certified laboratory testing reports from domestic U.S.-based laboratories, and pricing is firm and all-inclusive with FOB Destination terms and specified administrative fees. Contracts commonly run one to five years with optional renewals and price adjustments tied to Producer Price Index formulas.

Recent activity centers on Texas, where the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued multiple IFBs for textile materials. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-850A2, posted June 18, 2026 with bids due July 28, 2026, solicits 39 line items of nylon flags, fabrics, twill, mesh, thermal knit, greige sheeting, and clear vinyl for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities in Gatesville, Huntsville, Lamesa, Abilene, and Dayton, with quantities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000,000 units depending on product type. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also posted IFB IW246477 on March 30, 2026 with an April 13, 2026 response date under its Standard Terms and Conditions, which includes HUB subcontracting plan requirements and standard state compliance provisions. Both solicitations impose mandatory insurance, tax-exempt and duty-free pricing, and 14-day delivery timelines.
