UNSPSC 23141600: Leather preparing machinery and accessories

UNSPSC 23141600 Leather preparing machinery and accessories is a Class code that in practice sees minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent solicitation on file represents substantial misalignment: Klein Independent School District (Klein ISD) in Harris County, Texas posted RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026, seeking Career Technical Education (CTE) and Advanced Academics instructional resources, products, materials, equipment, memberships, and related services across 17 distinct program areas including agricultural science, architecture and construction, arts and communications, barbering and cosmetology, business and finance, criminal justice, health sciences, hospitality, information technology, manufacturing and robotics, welding, ROTC, and transportation. The procurement explicitly calls for instructional supplies, dual credit materials, STEM enrichment resources, test preparation materials, software and equipment, textbooks, and specialized equipment — none of which fall within the leather preparing machinery scope. Klein ISD, an independent school district, does not implement set-asides but encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE vendor participation and awards consideration to small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and labor surplus area firms when federal funds are expended.

The code shows no other recent state and local opportunities in the source material and the Klein ISD solicitation is fundamentally a mismatch to leather preparing machinery and accessories. The RFP is structured as a firm fixed-price contract with proposals due electronically through Bonfire by June 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with award recommendations expected by August 10, 2026, and contract start September 1, 2026, for an initial one-year term plus four optional one-year renewals. The procurement accepts proposals by individual category, reserves the right to split awards among multiple vendors, and requires three references, Texas business licensing, general liability and workers' compensation insurance with $1 million minimum coverage, background checks, and standard compliance documentation. No overall budget or award value is specified in the solicitation.
