No, it's incorrect.
The contraction in this case doesn't have anything to do with the relationship between two words, as in 'it's', contracted from 'it is'. 'Bibs' is just a plural, and in English there are very, very few instances in which an apostrophe is useful in a (non-possessive) plural, and generally that's not because there's a contraction, but just to make the meaning clearer, e.g. if you talk about multiples of one letter of the alphabet, you can spell it 'three A's'. As there is the word 'as', it might be more confusing in certain combinations to spell it 'As'.
Other uses, for instance:
'Bib's' is a possessive only, and that's not what's meant in this thread title. Also, as 'bibs' is short for 'bib shorts', its possessive is "bibs' ", as in 'the bibs' stitching', for instance.

Isn't it technically correct as a contraction from bib shorts
It's not contraction, it's clipping
