UNSPSC 23101512: Sawing machines

UNSPSC 23101512 Sawing machines (Commodity) covers handheld and stationary cutting equipment state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, facilities work, and instructional programs. Recent activity shows concrete saws dominating procurement—Waukesha County, Wisconsin issued an RFB for a single concrete saw for highway operations (RFB #2026006, due March 5, 2026), and the City of Madison Community Development Authority's concrete sidewalk project (Solicitation 1504902026, due July 17, 2026) explicitly includes sawcutting and removal of approximately 1,300 square feet of existing concrete as part of the sidewalk replacement scope. Band saws represent a secondary stream; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted two separate solicitations for band saws (IW252291 and IW252293, both closing in early June 2026) likely for facility or workshop use. The code also captures woodworking equipment procurement—Southern Regional Technical College issued an eRFQ for carpentry program woodworking equipment (41500TCS0000226, due April 6, 2026). Issuing bodies include county highway departments, municipal public works and community development authorities, state correctional systems, and technical college systems procuring for instructional programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Wisconsin, Texas, and Georgia. Waukesha County (Wisconsin), the City of Madison (Wisconsin), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (two separate band saw RFQs in June 2026) represent the most active recent buyers. Southern Regional Technical College in Georgia and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority's broader transit-maintenance RFP (which does not directly name sawing machines but represents ancillary maintenance work) round out the visible jurisdictional spread. The opportunities range from single-unit equipment purchases—concrete saws and band saws with no disclosed budget ceilings—to integrated facilities maintenance scopes where sawing is one line item among many. None of the recent solicitations disclosed disadvantaged-business set-asides or incumbent vendors.
