UNSPSC 23121501: Embroidery making machines

UNSPSC 23121501 Embroidery making machines is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure embroidery machines and integrated embroidery system bundles for workforce development, vocational training, and operational support. State health agencies and school districts are the primary issuing bodies, with equipment solicitations typically bundled with software, accessories, training, and consumable starter kits rather than machines sold standalone. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has posted multiple solicitations under this code for the same tubular embroidery machine specification, indicating repeat demand for this equipment category within state health system vocational rehabilitation workshops.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Michigan. The HHSC posted two iterations of a bid for one Chroma CHS2-1504-W 15-needle tubular embroidery machine for Vernon State Hospital's Central Rehab Client Workshop—the original solicitation (HHS0017446) closed June 17, 2026, followed by a reissue (HHS0017446V2) with a due date of July 7, 2026 at 10:30 AM Central Time, with a historical value of $34,538.98 and anticipated contract start of July 8, 2026, including machine, digitizing software, three-month design library subscription, onsite training, and supplies. Marshall Public Schools in Michigan issued an IFB (RFPMARS2600000022902) on June 29, 2026 with bids due July 10, 2026 for two Brother Entrepreneur W PR680W 6-needle embroidery machines as part of a broader CTE Graphic and Print Technologies program launch at Marshall Opportunity High School. The University of Connecticut RFP (MF060526) due July 2, 2026 appears misclassified under this code; it solicits uniform rental and cleaning services unrelated to embroidery equipment and does not represent legitimate activity under the commodity code.
