UNSPSC 53141600: Miscellaneous sewing supplies

UNSPSC 53141600 Miscellaneous sewing supplies is a Class code covering threading, embroidery materials, and related consumables that state and local governments procure for in-house production shops, correctional facilities, and similar operations. The work being solicited under this code is straightforward inventory replenishment — state agencies issue RFQs and IFBs to stock supplies for ongoing operations, typically under multi-year agreements with option periods.

State purchasing offices and individual state departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code. The Rhode Island Department of Corrections issued RFQ26006645 in May 2026 for threading and embroidery materials to supply its embroidery shop, with responses due June 15, 2026, under a three-year initial term with two optional 12-month renewals. The solicitation requires MBE participation at a minimum 15% dollar value, $1 million general liability insurance, and pricing firm for the agreement period with F.O.B. destination delivery. Rhode Island is the only state with recent documented activity under this code; geographic spread and issuing-body concentration cannot be determined from a single opportunity. The quiet activity level across state and local procurement suggests either narrow demand or fragmentation across smaller, routine RFQs that do not aggregate into visible market signals.
