UNSPSC 23153420: Wire and cable assembly machine

Assembly machine used in the fabrication of wire and cable.

UNSPSC 23153420 Wire and cable assembly machine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations encompasses water treatment equipment assemblies — specifically venturi-type flow controllers paired with butterfly valves designed to measure and regulate potable water flow. The City of Lubbock, Texas has posted an ITB for replacement rate-of-flow controller and butterfly valve assembly for its North Water Treatment Plant, calling for a 16-inch AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve with cast iron body (ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12) and Type 316 stainless steel throat liner paired with a venturi-type flow controller calibrated to a 0-144 inches water column range and factory tested to within 0.5 percent accuracy. The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement; the Philadelphia micro purchase (B2626859, due April 24, 2026) tagged under this code is for OVA storage and bears no relation to the water equipment scope the Lubbock solicitation exemplifies, suggesting occasional misclassification in state and local cataloging systems.

The City of Lubbock dominates visible recent activity under this code. The ITB 26-19653-YB (due May 27, 2026) requires sealed bids through the City's Bonfire portal or hand delivery, with a non-mandatory site visit at the North Water Treatment Plant scheduled for May 20, 2026, RSVP required by May 19. Vendors must supply equipment only, with factory assembly and testing, plus printed and digital operation and maintenance manuals; the City handles installation. Pricing must be firm for 60 days on an F.O.B. delivered basis. The City applies a local vendor preference for contracts under $500,000, favoring local bidders within five percent of the lowest outside bid when the local bid offers the best combination of price and economic development. No budget or award value is specified. Beyond this Texas activity, the code shows minimal recent state and local procurement visibility, indicating a narrow market or limited state and local demand for equipment in this taxonomy band.
