UNSPSC 23241504: Gear cutting tool

UNSPSC 23241504 Gear cutting tool is a Commodity code that encompasses cutting equipment and replacement components state and local governments procure for machine shops, manufacturing operations, and technical training programs. Based on recent solicitations, state and local buyers use this code for CNC equipment (mills, lathes, machining centers), wire electrical discharge machines (EDM), plasma cutters, and shearing machines, as well as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts and wear items (bearings, seals, gaskets, springs, clutches, fasteners, assemblies) for installed machinery. Issuing bodies span university systems, state transportation departments, county facilities, technical colleges, school districts, and special-purpose procurement cooperatives. The Texas A&M University System and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) appear most frequently among recent opportunities, with TxDOT soliciting multiple rounds of OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines at its Austin Production Shop and Texas A&M issuing ITBs for CNC equipment, lathe systems, and machine shop equipment through the AggieBid procurement platform.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, California, and Florida. Texas A&M University System posted three consecutive ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC equipment (closing July 13, 2026), machine shop and fabrication equipment (closing July 15, 2026), and a CNC lathe and machining center (closing July 23, 2026). TxDOT issued two separate IFBs for OEM Cincinnati Shear replacement parts (one closing April 16, 2026, another closing June 2, 2026, both at the Austin Production Shop). Texas State Technical College solicited Wire EDM machines and transformers for precision machining training (RFP-315, closing March 11, 2026). The School Board of Polk County, Florida requested a comprehensive CNC training solution including desktop mills, lathes, and control simulators (closing March 24, 2026). The State of California issued RFBs for a water table CNC plasma cutter (RFB-IS-26201000, closing June 11, 2026) and a shearing machine (RFB-IS-26200650, closing March 10, 2026). Hillsborough County, Florida awarded a five-year sole-source maintenance and parts contract for composting equipment ($1,992,824.18 estimated value) to Powerscreen of Florida through its authorized dealer status. Sourcewell, on behalf of Washington-state counties and multiple jurisdictions, issued a cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (#061626, closing June 16, 2026) that may include machinery or tool components relevant to the code.
