UNSPSC 91101904: Tailoring service

Service that provides alteration or customization of clothes as well as the creation of custom made clothes.

UNSPSC 91101904 Tailoring service, a Commodity code, covers uniform supply, customization, alterations, and embroidery services that state and local government agencies procure to outfit their workforce—encompassing procurement of ready-made uniforms, onsite fitting and measurement, tailoring and hemming, embroidery and screen-printing customization, and ongoing laundering and repair. The issuing bodies span state facilities commissions, county transit and water authorities, city fire departments, and county governments; the Texas Facilities Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, City of St. Petersburg, and City of Phoenix appear as repeat buyers in recent solicitations. Work includes high-volume uniform supply for maintenance and operations staff (often 40–300+ employees per agency), specialized safety apparel with flame-resistance and ATPV ratings meeting ASTM and NFPA standards, and branded customization via embroidery or screen printing on shirts, pants, jackets, hats, and accessories. Vendors typically furnish labor for initial employee fittings, alterations at no charge, and—in rental models—weekly pickup, laundering, and replacement of soiled garments over contract terms of two to five years.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Facilities Commission (RFP 0007240, due July 7, 2026) is procuring rental and purchase uniforms for approximately 395 employees across maintenance, fire/security, and executive roles, anticipating separate awards for rentals and sales and requiring five years of prior experience.
