UNSPSC 23241501: Abrasive jet machining equipment

UNSPSC 23241501 Abrasive jet machining equipment (Commodity) describes specialized metal-cutting and fabrication machinery for state and local procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows the code is being applied primarily to press brakes, CNC equipment, machine-shop tools, and shear-machine replacement parts rather than abrasive jet systems specifically. State and local government procurement under this code spans equipment purchases and parts replacement for fabrication operations, maintenance services for specialized machinery, and supplies needed to keep production facilities operational. The issuing bodies include higher-education systems (Texas A&M University System), state transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation), state procurement offices (State of California), county governments (Hillsborough County), and state criminal-justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), indicating that fabrication and machine-shop capacity is distributed across multiple public sectors.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, with Texas A&M University System issuing multiple ITBs for press brakes (due October 29, 2026, and September 25, 2026), CNC equipment (due July 13, 2026), and machine-shop and fabrication equipment (due July 15, 2026), all managed through the AggieBid platform with Sterling Crowdus as the primary contact. TxDOT has solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines, including bearings, gaskets, seals, and clutches (due June 2, 2026, and April 16, 2026, with best-value evaluation and Texas preference eligibility). The State of California posted an RFB for a Water Table CNC Hypertherm Plasma Cutter (due June 15, 2026). Hillsborough County issued a sole-source notice of intent to award $1,992,824.18 over five years to Powerscreen of Florida for maintenance and parts for Komptech composting equipment at the SE Landfill in Tampa. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment with participation from Washington-state counties and multi-state public entities also appears in the block but is unrelated to fabrication machinery. Response deadlines cluster in the June–October 2026 window, with most solicitations requiring electronic submission through platform portals (AggieBid, Euna Procurement, Bonfire).
