UNSPSC 23161608: Foundry shovels

UNSPSC 23161608 Foundry shovels is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB2600073 for sand delivery in sandbag operations—involves bulk material supply and logistics, not foundry tools or equipment. The solicitation calls for multiple types of sand or equivalent materials delivered to county locations and job sites on an as-needed basis, with response within 24 hours for non-emergency requests and four hours for declared emergencies. Pricing is fixed per ton, inclusive of delivery, fuel surcharges, and equipment rental. Contractors must carry comprehensive liability insurance (general, automobile, workers' compensation, pollution, professional, and cyber liability of $1,000,000 each where applicable), maintain E-Verify compliance, and certify drug-free workplace status under Florida Statute 287.087. The code shows little relevant procurement activity; state and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting foundry shovels or similar hand tools under this classification.

The Hillsborough County opportunity, posted March 4, 2026, with a bid deadline of March 27, 2026, represents the only recent activity associated with this code and is plainly unrelated to foundry equipment procurement. The three-year contract carries an estimated value of $617,490.00 with no guaranteed minimum purchases, and award is open to all qualified responsive and responsible bidders with no set-aside designations. The geographic and issuing-body data from this single opportunity provide insufficient basis to characterize broader state and local demand under the code. Business development professionals should monitor this code for future activity or seek alternative UNSPSC classifications if foundry tools and equipment are the target category.
