UNSPSC 23151602: Crushers

UNSPSC 23151602 Crushers, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — industrial crushing equipment — does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to the code reflect pottery supplies, kilns, pottery wheels, and related art-education equipment, not crushers. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or a jurisdictional use of the code outside its standard industrial definition. The issuing bodies posting under this code include a city parks and recreation department (Tucson), two county departments of parks and recreation (Gwinnett County, Georgia), a city procurement office (Orlando), an independent school district (Fort Bend ISD), and a regional education service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). These entities are acquiring consumable pottery materials (clay, glazes, colorants), specialized equipment (electric kilns, pottery wheels, ventilation systems), and bundled maintenance and repair services for arts and recreation programs.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Gwinnett County), Florida (Orlando), Texas (Fort Bend ISD and Region 7 Cooperative), and Arizona (Tucson), with activity spanning June through October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Orlando IFB 27-0025 for pottery supplies due November 5, 2026, with a one-year contract term and four optional renewal periods; Gwinnett County's informal written quote (IWQ) 137725 for two electric pottery kilns due September 25, 2026; Gwinnett County's IWQ 137154 for four pottery wheels due September 10, 2026; and Fort Bend Independent School District RFP 27004KB for art supplies, equipment, replacement parts, maintenance, and repair services due September 25, 2026. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies, due July 30, 2026, lists estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term and indicates 136 prior awards. Because the code does not reflect actual crusher procurement, this classification warrants review before business development pursuit.
