UNSPSC 23161501: Foundry blowers

UNSPSC 23161501 Foundry blowers is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses supplies and equipment for pottery studios and ceramic arts operations rather than industrial foundry equipment. The City of Orlando's October 2026 IFB for pottery supplies illustrates the actual scope: clay, kiln furniture, tools, glazes, and consumables supporting ceramic production facilities. State and local buyers use this code for ongoing supplies contracts to support publicly operated or supported pottery studios, art centers, and craft facilities. Issuing bodies are primarily city and municipal governments operating cultural or educational arts programs; the code does not show activity from county, state-level, or school district buyers in the recent record.

Activity under the code is sparse. The City of Orlando issued IFB270025 on October 6, 2026, with bids due November 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM, seeking sixty-one enumerated pottery supply line items plus a catch-all for additional supplies. The contract offers a one-year base term with four optional twelve-month renewals. The City applies Veteran Business Enterprise preference and considers Small and Local Business Enterprise participation; respondents must maintain local service representation, provide Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability insurance at $1 million combined single limits, and submit multiple compliance attestations and references. Deliveries are F.O.B. Destination with one-week standard lead times for in-stock items and City-approved emergency expedite charges. Geographic concentration is limited to Florida based on current visible opportunities.
