UNSPSC 52121500: Bedclothes

UNSPSC 52121500 Bedclothes is a Class code covering specialized and institutional bedding products, including suicide-resistant blankets and smocks, standard bedding items, towels, and laundry supplies purchased by state and local correctional and juvenile justice facilities. State and local governments procure these textiles primarily through county and state correction departments, juvenile justice agencies, and institutional care facilities that require durable, safety-compliant products for secure custody environments. Issuing bodies include state department-level agencies and county-level correctional authorities, with the State of Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice appearing as a recent repeat buyer establishing supply chains across multiple facilities statewide.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code, with two posted opportunities spanning correctional and juvenile justice operations. Barrow County, operating under the State of Georgia, solicited Suicide Blankets and Suicide Smocks through Solicitation 46700GDC0001193 posted February 13, 2026 with a response date of February 23, 2026, to establish a one-year contract with up to four one-year renewal options for delivery to the Care and Custody facility at Milledgeville Warehouse. The State of Georgia's Department of Juvenile Justice issued Solicitation 46100DJJ0000328 for bedding, laundry items, and towels across twenty-five state facilities, closing March 2, 2026; Victory Supply LLC was awarded an estimated contract value of $95,330.00, with thirteen offerors competing and two vendors—Bob Barker Company and Charm Tex Inc—rejected for pricing reasons. Both opportunities reflect open contracting with no set-aside designations or vendor-type restrictions documented.
