UNSPSC 23241603: Countersink tool or counterbore tool

UNSPSC 23241603 Countersink tool or counterbore tool is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows little activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit CNC equipment, machine shop tools, shearing machines, wire electrical discharge machining systems, and related industrial capital equipment and parts — not hand tools or precision cutting implements. The issuing bodies include universities (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College), state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, State of California), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), school districts (Polk County Schools, Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). The most substantial recent opportunity is Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement to Powerscreen of Florida, Inc. for five years of maintenance, repairs, and parts for Komptech composting equipment valued at $1,992,824.18, which is unrelated to the code's stated commodity definition.

Recent representative solicitations include Texas A&M University System's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center with bids due July 23, 2026; TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 for machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment due July 15, 2026; and Texas Department of Transportation's IFB 601440000053313 for OEM replacement parts for a Cincinnati Shear machine due June 2, 2026, covering bearings, gaskets, seals, springs, clutches, and fasteners. California issued RFB-IS-26200650 for a shearing machine due March 10, 2026, and RFB-IS-26201000 for a Water Table CNC Hypertherm Plasma Cutter due June 15, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and California with secondary presence in Florida. The mismatch between the code's definition and the actual procurements posted suggests the code may not reflect active state and local demand for countersink or counterbore tools specifically, or that issuers are applying the code inconsistently to broader machine shop capital equipment and replacement parts.
