UNSPSC 23241700: Metal deburring machines

Machines that remove burrs from workpieces through mechanical means. Burrs are thin ridges that develop along the edges of a workpiece from shearing sheet materials, trimming forgings and castings, and machining.

UNSPSC 23241700 Metal deburring machines, a Class code, encompasses fabrication and metalworking equipment that state and local governments procure for educational institutions, transportation departments, and specialized facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring CNC equipment (lathes, machining centers, wire electrical discharge machines), shearing and plasma-cutting machinery, and associated tooling and parts for ongoing maintenance and operation of in-house machine shops and training programs. The issuing bodies are primarily higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College, Polk County Schools), state transportation and manufacturing agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, State of California), and county facilities departments (Hillsborough County Water Resources). The code sees consistent activity across multiple issuing-body types, with repeat procurement from the Texas A&M University System and TxDOT.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The Texas A&M University System posted three consecutive ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC equipment, a CNC lathe and machining center, and machine shop/welding/fabrication equipment, all closing within a narrow window (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0540 due July 13, 2026; TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 due July 15, 2026; TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 due July 23, 2026). TxDOT issued two separate IFBs for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati shear machines at its Austin Production Shop (due April 16, 2026 and June 2, 2026), each requesting 23 line items of bearings, seals, gaskets, and fasteners on firm fixed-price basis with freight prepaid. Texas State Technical College solicited proposals for Wire EDM equipment (RFP-315, due March 11, 2026) with anticipated value exceeding $100,000 and mandatory subcontracting plan requirement. The State of California issued RFBs for a shearing machine (RFBIS26200650, due March 10, 2026) and a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (RFBIS26201000, due June 11, 2026). The Polk County Schools sought CNC training equipment through vendor response (due March 24, 2026), and Hillsborough County awarded maintenance and parts for composting equipment machinery to Powerscreen of Florida under sole-source procurement valued at $1,992,824.18 over five years.
