UNSPSC 23241402: Surface grinding machine

A surface grinder has a head which is lowered, and the workpiece is moved back and forth past the grinding wheel on a table that has a permanent magnet for use with magnetic stock.

UNSPSC 23241402 Surface grinding machine is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure reel grinders and grinding equipment for golf course and athletic field maintenance. Recent solicitation activity shows the code spans both narrow single-unit procurements and broader law enforcement equipment frameworks that include grinding machinery among diverse equipment categories. The State of Georgia Department of Natural Resources has posted two separate RFQs for reel grinders at Brazell's Creek Golf Course (February 2026 and March 2026), each seeking a one-time purchase of a reel grinder or equivalent meeting detailed technical specifications, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued an RFP in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, with a June 16, 2026 proposal deadline. The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Georgia DNR), cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell), and regional transit authorities; the law enforcement equipment framework suggests grinding or finishing equipment may be procured as part of larger equipment portfolios serving multiple jurisdiction types.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and the Upper Midwest through Sourcewell's multistate cooperative structure. Georgia's Department of Natural Resources appears as the most active recent buyer, with two consecutive reel grinder solicitations for the same facility in February and March 2026, each with response deadlines roughly two weeks after posting. Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP encompasses participation from Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and extends to numerous jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, though the source does not specify which states see the heaviest concentration. No incumbent vendors, budget ranges, or set-aside designations are disclosed across the recent opportunities identified. Bidders should note that Georgia's procurement platform requires all documentation as email attachments to the Issuing Officer, written questions only, and strict communication restrictions during the solicitation period; Sourcewell requires free account registration and exclusive submission through its portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov.
