UNSPSC 53141621: Needle threader

UNSPSC 53141621 Needle threader is a Commodity code covering threading and embroidery supply materials that state and local governments purchase for in-house production and workshop operations. The State of Rhode Island Department of Corrections recently solicited threading and embroidery materials for its embroidery shop, signaling that corrections agencies and similar public facilities use this code to procure consumables for inmate work programs, vocational training, and institutional production activities. State agencies and their specialized departments—corrections, rehabilitation, and workforce development programs—are the primary issuing bodies under this code; procurement volumes appear modest and tied to specific institutional workshops rather than centralized statewide demand.

Rhode Island was the location of the most recent relevant opportunity: the Department of Corrections issued RFQ 26006645 on May 14, 2026 for threading and embroidery materials with a response deadline of June 11, 2026. The three-year initial contract includes options to renew for two additional 12-month periods, carries a 15% minority business enterprise participation requirement, requires F.O.B. destination delivery with free inside delivery, and imposes a 0.33% contract administrative fee on total annual spend. No incumbent vendor or budget information was disclosed. The source shows limited recent activity under this code; this single Rhode Island corrections procurement represents the available visibility into current state and local demand.
