UNSPSC 23161503: Core drying ovens

UNSPSC 23161503 Core drying ovens is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00073 for sand delivery to support sandbag operations—bears no relationship to core drying ovens or thermal processing equipment. The solicitation targets suppliers of bulk sand for emergency response and routine county infrastructure work, requiring delivery capability within 24 hours for non-declared emergencies and four hours for declared events, with pricing submitted on a fixed per-ton basis including all transport and ancillary costs. Contractors must carry comprehensive general liability ($1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), automobile liability ($1 million combined single limit), workers' compensation, and specialized coverages including pollution liability and cyber liability. The code appears to be a miscoding by Hillsborough County rather than a genuine application of the core drying ovens taxonomy.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix cannot be meaningfully characterized from the recent-opportunities record, as the single entry does not represent authentic procurement under this code. Hillsborough County, a Florida county government, is the only issuing body on record. The estimated three-year contract value is $617,490.00, with award to one or more responsive and responsible bidders submitting the lowest total bid price; no set-asides, incumbent vendors, or surety requirements apply. This code warrants a skip in pursuit; the activity does not reflect actual demand for core drying ovens in state and local procurement.
