UNSPSC 23161700: Foundry dies and tooling

Dies and tooling used with foundry equipment.

UNSPSC 23161700 Foundry dies and tooling is a Class code that in state and local procurement practice covers pottery studio supplies and materials rather than foundry equipment. The City of Orlando's recent solicitation under this code requests bids for consumable pottery supplies—clay, glazes, tools, and kiln materials—to support an active pottery studio with twenty electric wheels, nine electric kilns, and associated equipment. The scope includes sixty-one enumerated line items plus a catch-all sixty-second item for additional supplies, with clay ordered on a forty-five-day cycle in quantities of 4,000 to 5,000 pounds and storage capacity of approximately 12,000 pounds. The code shows limited recent state and local activity; the Orlando opportunity is the only posted solicitation in the available record.

The City of Orlando issued IFB270025 on October 6, 2026, with bids due November 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The contract term runs one year from execution with four optional renewal periods, totaling up to sixty months. Vendors must meet fixed pricing that includes all shipping costs, deliver in-stock items within one week of order on F.O.B. Destination terms, and maintain Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability of $1 million combined single limit, and Comprehensive Automobile Liability of $1 million combined single limit. The City applies a Veteran Business Enterprise preference in evaluation and considers Small and Local Business Enterprise participation. Respondents must provide a local service representative for technical assistance and submit annual usage reporting in Excel format; the City reserves the right to award to multiple responsive and responsible bidders.
