UNSPSC 23211003: Terminal insertion machine

A machine designed for the insertion and assembly of wiring terminals.

UNSPSC 23211003 Terminal insertion machine is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations under this tag involve industrial equipment procurement that diverges significantly from the code's nominal scope. The Texas A&M University System has posted multiple ITBs between September and October 2026 for press brakes, CNC routers, and 3D printers—fabrication and additive-manufacturing equipment that falls outside terminal insertion machinery. One unrelated RFP from Sourcewell (on behalf of multiple Washington counties) seeks law enforcement equipment, which bears no connection to the code at all. State and local procurement offices are using the code inconsistently or incorrectly in their own tagging; the actual buying activity shows capital equipment procurement by higher-education systems and cooperative purchasing entities, but not terminal insertion machines.

Texas A&M University System is the dominant buyer appearing across six recent opportunities, all posted to the AggieBid platform with response dates between late September and late October 2026. The ITBs include press brake procurement (three instances: TAMUSITB270545, TAMUSITB270548, and TAMUSITB260545), industrial CNC router (TAMUSITB270546), and 3D printer equipment (TAMUSITB270544 and TAMUSITB260545). All submissions are electronic-only through AggieBid; late submissions are not accepted. Questions flow through Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or the AggieBid Q&A portal. Texas A&M does not disclose contract value, technical specifications, or set-asides in the posted notices; full details remain in the AggieBid portal documentation. The Sourcewell RFP (#061626) targets a different buyer profile entirely—multiple Washington counties and a national cooperative purchasing network seeking law enforcement equipment. The code shows little relevant recent activity in terminal insertion machinery; material mismatch between the code label and what is actually being solicited suggests this code should not be tracked for terminal insertion procurement decisions.
