UNSPSC 23241503: Flame cutting machine

A device that focuses an intense flame causing high heat and used to cut metal.

UNSPSC 23241503 Flame cutting machine (Commodity) encompasses precision metal-cutting equipment that state and local procurement offices acquire for industrial training, manufacturing operations, and maintenance shops. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying CNC equipment, wire electrical discharge machines (EDM), shearing machines, and associated replacement parts and maintenance services under this code, though the actual recent opportunities reflect a much broader scope than flame cutting alone — ranging from machine shop equipment procurement to OEM parts supply to training system installation.

Texas A&M University System dominates recent activity, with three ITBs posted between late June and early July 2026 for CNC equipment (TAMUSITB260540, due July 13), machine shop and welding equipment (TAMUSITB260541, due July 15), and a CNC lathe and machining center (TAMUSITB260542, due July 23). Texas Department of Transportation issued two IFBs for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines (one in April 2026, one in June 2026). The State of California posted RFBs for a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (RFBIS26201000, June 2026) and a shearing machine (RFBIS26200650, March 2026). Texas State Technical College sought a wire EDM machine for precision machining training (RFP-315, March 2026 with a contract value exceeding $100,000). The School Board of Polk County, Florida solicited integrated CNC training equipment including desktop mills and lathes with tooling and warranty (SS15MJ0426, March 2026). Hillsborough County issued a five-year sole-source notice for maintenance and parts on Komptech composting equipment valued at $1,992,824.18 (SS2600306, June 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Texas (particularly university and state transportation), California, and Florida, with scattered municipal and county demand. All bid submissions route through agency-specific electronic procurement platforms (AggieBid, Euna, Vendorlink, Sourcewell, or state RFB systems), and vendors must register within each system to respond.
