UNSPSC 23161516: Foundry mold machine

A machine used for producing molds that are used in a foundry.

UNSPSC 23161516 Foundry mold machine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitation practice captures the supply of bulk materials for emergency response and operational use rather than equipment manufacturing. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' March 2026 ITB for sand delivery to support sandbag operations—a supply contract rather than a foundry-related procurement—represents the only recent state or local opportunity tagged to this code. County governments, rather than state departments or school districts, appear to be the primary issuing bodies for activity under this code, though the single recent record provides limited basis for characterizing issuing-body concentration.

Hillsborough County, Florida is the only jurisdiction with recent documented activity under this code. The County issued ITB 26-00073 on March 4, 2026, with a response deadline of March 27, 2026, for sand supply on an as-needed basis with estimated three-year value of $617,490.00. The contract calls for fixed pricing per ton including delivery and fuel surcharges, with response capability of 24 hours for non-declared emergencies and four hours for declared emergencies. Bidders must carry comprehensive general liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence minimum limits, comply with E-Verify requirements, and certify compliance with Florida Statute 287.087 drug-free workplace standards. The solicitation indicates no set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (foundry equipment) and the actual procurement (bulk sand supply) signals that this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose in state and local procurement.
