UNSPSC 23231002: Carbide tool tip

UNSPSC 23231002 Carbide tool tip is a Commodity code covering cutting-edge components and wear parts for road maintenance and specialized equipment operations. State and local governments procure carbide tool tips primarily as consumable replacement parts for snow removal and winter road maintenance equipment, including snowplow cutting edges, segmented blade systems, and associated wear hardware. The code also sees procurement activity from law enforcement and public works operations supporting broader equipment contracting frameworks. Issuing bodies include cities, counties, and cooperative purchasing units serving multiple public jurisdictions. Draper City, Utah and Santa Clara County, California represent recent buyers; Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, has also issued solicitations that reference equipment procurement on behalf of multi-state participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state.

Recent activity concentrates in the Mountain West and Pacific Coast regions. Draper City issued an IFB (Solicitation 2617) on September 25, 2026 for carbide snowplow cutting edges in 4' × 6" and 3' × 6" models, Blockbuster segmented systems in 9', 10', 11', and 12' configurations, plow guards, Western OEM blades and wing kits, and Grade 8 plow bolts and hardware, with bids due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time and award notification expected October 23, 2026. The contract offers a one-year initial term with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods, subject to vendor performance and budget appropriations, with annual price adjustments capped at the lesser of the annual Consumer Price Index change (Western Region) or 3%. Sourcewell issued an RFP (#061626) in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment that encompasses carbide tooling and related components for use across Washington state jurisdictions and nationwide public entities. Santa Clara County's May 2026 pavement rehabilitation ITB included related road maintenance work but did not specifically isolate carbide tool procurement. Partial bids are permitted under the Draper City solicitation; all pricing must include freight and delivery on an FOB basis to the purchasing entity.
