UNSPSC 23153700: Precision fastening or torque equipment

Torque equipment used for precision joining and assembly of products.

UNSPSC 23153700 Precision fastening or torque equipment is a Class code covering fasteners, torque tools, and related assembly hardware purchased by state and local government. Recent solicitations reveal the code is applied broadly across law enforcement equipment procurement and specialized laboratory equipment upgrades, indicating that state and local buyers tag this code when precision fastening components or installation services are part of a larger goods or services package rather than as standalone fastener inventory. Issuing bodies include cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit serving multiple states and counties), higher education institutions (University of Wisconsin Stevens Point), and law enforcement agencies across multiple counties and jurisdictions.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) covers participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extends nationally and into Canada through its cooperative framework. The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point's IFB 2026STPALL01275RFB for paper machine stock tank upgrades, including false bottom and automatic drain valve installation (due April 16, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid site visit March 26, 2026), represents equipment-specific fastening and assembly work in Wisconsin. The code shows limited recent activity; opportunities appear sporadically as components embedded in broader equipment or equipment-installation procurements rather than as dedicated fastener supply or torque-tool contracts.
