UNSPSC 23121612: Sewing machine needles

UNSPSC 23121612 Sewing machine needles, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as consumable supplies for textile repair, garment production, and custodial or facilities-maintenance operations where in-house sewing or alterations are performed. The code covers individual needles and needle assortments compatible with industrial and domestic sewing machines, typically bought as replacement inventory or to support correctional facilities, public health departments, school districts, and municipal workshops that maintain uniforms, linens, or protective apparel. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state correctional departments, county jails, city public works and parks departments, and regional school districts — jurisdictions that operate internal laundry or alteration services rather than outsourcing all textile work.

The source provided contains no records of recent state or local contract opportunities posted under UNSPSC 23121612. Without documented recent solicitations, geographic spread and issuing-body concentration cannot be characterized from state and local procurement activity. Procurement under this code, when it occurs, typically follows low-dollar RFQ or IFB patterns for commodity-level consumables rather than formal RFP cycles, and opportunities may be aggregated into broader facilities-supplies or janitorial-consumables solicitations rather than itemized separately by UNSPSC code in public notice systems.
