UNSPSC 23241510: Metal shearing machine

A machine with blades, or rotary disks, for dividing plates or bars of metal.

UNSPSC 23241510 Metal shearing machine (Commodity) describes state and local procurement for shearing and cutting equipment, including machine shop machinery, CNC equipment, and related metalworking systems. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing wire electrical discharge machining systems, CNC lathes and machining centers, industrial cutting equipment such as plasma cutters, and replacement parts for existing shearing and machining equipment. Issuing bodies include university systems (Texas A&M University, Texas State Technical College), state transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation, State of California), county government (Hillsborough County), and K-12 school districts (Polk County School Board). The mix reflects both capital equipment acquisition for educational and operational programs and ongoing maintenance and parts procurement for existing machinery. Scope spans new equipment purchases with training and installation, sole-source maintenance contracts for proprietary equipment, and OEM replacement-parts procurement for aging machines in state agency shops.

Activity concentrates in Texas and California, with secondary presence in Florida and Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing frameworks. Recent opportunities include Texas A&M University System's ITBs for CNC lathes, machining centers, and CNC equipment (TAMUSITB260542 due July 23, 2026; TAMUSITB260540 due July 13, 2026), Texas Department of Transportation's two separate IFBs for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines at its Austin Production Shop (601440000053313 with response due June 2, 2026; 601440000052666 with response due April 16, 2026), State of California's RFB for a shearing machine (RFBIS26200650 due March 10, 2026), and Polk County School Board's request for vendor response for comprehensive CNC training equipment including mills, lathes, and simulators (SS15MJ0426 due March 24, 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) spans participating Washington counties and broader public-sector entities.
