UNSPSC 23101533: Cold press

A type of wood laminating machine that uses pressure rather than heat to join glued sheets of wood.

UNSPSC 23101533 Cold press is a Commodity code that encompasses foam densification equipment and related machinery for recycling and waste-reduction operations at the municipal and institutional level. State and local governments procure cold presses primarily as components of foam recycling systems for public works departments and waste-management programs, along with supporting equipment such as collection bins, storage containers, and delivery-and-installation services. The issuing bodies using this code include city governments, technical college systems, university systems, and regional cooperative purchasing entities serving multiple jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show the code is used for comprehensive procurement of densification equipment rather than press units in isolation, with the issuing body defining requirements by output capacity and final product specifications.

The most recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, with additional procurement by Texas A&M University System and multi-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell. The City of Tybee Island, Georgia issued RFP 2026-101 on February 3, 2026, for a foam recycling system including a cold press foam densifier with minimum 200-pound-per-hour capacity, scheduled for delivery and installation within 90–120 days with a maximum award value of $85,000.00 funded through a Georgia Recycling, Waste Reduction, and Diversion Grant; proposals were due February 27, 2026. The Technical College System of Georgia issued an eRFQ on March 30, 2026, for woodworking equipment to support its Carpentry Program at Southern Regional Technical College, due April 6, 2026. Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 on June 26, 2026, for machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment, with bids due July 15, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington state and multiple jurisdictions, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The code shows episodic rather than continuous activity, with most recent opportunities occurring in the first half of 2026.
