UNSPSC 23101530: Dovetail machine

A type of woodworking machinery used to cut dovetail shaped grooves in wood.

UNSPSC 23101530 Dovetail machine is a Commodity code that covers specialized woodworking and fabrication equipment used in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities show this code is being used to tag industrial machinery solicitations, though the actual work being purchased spans broader equipment categories—including CNC routers and law enforcement equipment—rather than dovetail machines specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include higher-education systems, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Texas A&M University System and Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity serving state and local governments across the United States and Canada) represent the repeat buyers visible in recent postings.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. Texas A&M University System posted an ITB on October 16, 2026 for an industrial CNC router with a response deadline of October 23, 2026, with all submissions handled through the AggieBid electronic platform. Sourcewell issued an RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment, with proposals due June 16, 2026; this cooperative procurement serves multiple county governments in Washington State, including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties, as well as thousands of public entities nationwide through its framework agreement. The code shows limited recent activity and apparent scope misalignment—the posted opportunities do not consistently map to dovetail-machine fabrication, suggesting either miscoding in source data or a code used more broadly for specialized machinery procurement than the nominal commodity name indicates.
