UNSPSC 23241639: Taper shank drill

A type of drill designed for maximum performance when drilling a wide variety of materials where the driving machinery has a taper shank arbor or spindle.

UNSPSC 23241639 Taper shank drill is a Commodity code that captures specialized drilling equipment used in maintenance, repair, and equipment setup across state and local operations. The recent solicitation activity under this code, however, shows a significant mismatch: Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 tagged to this code but seeking broad law enforcement equipment rather than taper shank drills specifically. The solicitation targets establishment of a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the single posted opportunity does not reflect actual procurement of taper shank drills or related drilling tools.

The Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026, represents a multi-jurisdiction cooperative procurement administered by Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, with potential utilization across thousands of governmental agencies nationwide. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; no set-asides, award values, or budget ranges were identified in available documentation. Given the scope mismatch between the code's drilling-equipment focus and the law enforcement equipment solicitation, business development professionals should treat this code as currently inactive for core taper shank drill procurement at the state and local level and pursue opportunities through direct market research of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) solicitations at specific jurisdictions rather than relying on UNSPSC-tagged postings.
