UNSPSC 23241511: Threading machine

A cutter that works on making the screw shape in linear line on the round bars, such as pipe or bolt.

UNSPSC 23241511 Threading machine is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized metalworking equipment, including CNC lathes, machining centers, wire electrical discharge machines (EDM), and shearing equipment, along with the OEM replacement parts and technical support required to maintain them. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing complete systems for educational and operational use—desktop and industrial CNC training equipment for career and technical education programs, specialized machining equipment for university production shops and technical colleges, and replacement components for existing machinery. The mix of issuing bodies includes university systems, state technical colleges, state procurement departments, county governments, and school districts, with Texas A&M University System appearing as a repeat buyer of CNC and machining-center equipment across multiple concurrent solicitations, and Texas State Technical College seeking precision machining systems for apprenticeship training programs.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas and California, with secondary activity in Florida. Representative solicitations include Texas A&M University System's ITBs for a CNC lathe and machining center (TAMUSITB260542, due July 23, 2026), CNC equipment (TAMUSITB260540, due July 13, 2026), and machine shop and fabrication equipment (TAMUSITB260541, due July 15, 2026), all submitted through the AggieBid platform; Texas Department of Transportation's IFB for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati shear machines (601440000053313, due June 2, 2026); the State of California's RFB for a water table CNC plasma cutter (RFBIS26201000, due June 11, 2026); the School Board of Polk County, Florida's Request for Vendor Response for comprehensive CNC training equipment including desktop and industrial lathes and mills (SS15MJ0426, due March 24, 2026); and Texas State Technical College's RFP for wire EDM machines and transformers with an anticipated value exceeding $100,000 (RFP-315, due March 11, 2026). Educational institutions dominate the recent pipeline; sole-source and proprietary equipment procurements (particularly for OEM replacement parts specific to existing machines) remain common within the code's scope.
