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 in practice tracks bids for machine shop and fabrication equipment rather than threading machines specifically. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement offices buying CNC equipment, press brakes, and component parts for existing machines—primarily through purchase orders and invitation-for-bid (IFB) notices. The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) has posted multiple ITBs for press brakes and CNC machining centers through its AggieBid platform, representing the dominant issuing body in the recent pipeline. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines, Hillsborough County has issued a sole-source notice for composting equipment maintenance parts, and the State of California has requested bids for a Water Table CNC Hypertherm Plasma Cutter. The issuing bodies span higher-education institutions, state transportation and criminal-justice departments, county facilities managers, and state procurement offices—a broad cross-section of state and local operations that rely on metal-fabrication and machine-shop capability.

Activity clusters in Texas and California. TAMUS has posted at least four ITBs since June 2026 for machine shop and CNC equipment with response deadlines ranging from July through October 2026, all administered through AggieBid and directed by Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. TxDOT issued parallel procurements for Cincinnati Shear parts (IFB 601440000052666, due April 16, 2026, and IFB 601440000053313, due June 2, 2026), both emphasizing OEM warranty, firm fixed pricing, and best-value evaluation under Texas Government Code 2155.074. The California State agency posted an RFB for a Water Table CNC Plasma Cutter (RFB-IS-26201000, due June 15, 2026). Hillsborough County's $1.99 million five-year sole-source award to Powerscreen of Florida, Inc. for Komptech equipment maintenance at the SE Landfill in Tampa (notice posted June 17, 2026, challenge deadline June 25, 2026) illustrates the prevalence of equipment-support and parts-supply work. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law-enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) adds a cooperative-purchasing dimension, establishing contracting solutions across multiple jurisdictions and public entities. Code activity is steady but dominated by TAMUS repeat procurements and TxDOT parts replacement.
