UNSPSC 23241409: Optical profile grinding machine

A type of grinding machine that precisely grinds the shape of the workpiece according to the design drawing projected on the attached screen.

UNSPSC 23241409 Optical profile grinding machine is a Commodity code that describes precision grinding equipment, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the abstract category name. State and local governments procure optical profile grinding machines through equipment vendors and industrial suppliers, typically as capital equipment for manufacturing, inspection, or specialized production environments. The issuing bodies under this code span counties, state cooperative purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose districts that support law enforcement, public works, and other operational units. When solicited, these machines are usually acquired as part of broader equipment procurements or bundled technology initiatives rather than standalone line items, reflecting their specialized use and the limited number of public-sector jurisdictions requiring optical grinding capability.

The most recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 issued May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—is titled Law Enforcement Equipment and encompasses Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) along with Sourcewell's broader Participating Entities network spanning multiple states and Canada. However, the solicitation itself does not specify optical profile grinding machines or other precision manufacturing equipment in publicly available documentation; the code assignment appears to reflect a miscategorization or administrative tagging artifact rather than actual procurement scope. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is administering the RFP to establish framework contracting for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments. Responses are due exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; no documents are available through Washington's WEBS system. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to optical grinding procurement.
