UNSPSC 23241800: Metal drilling machines

Machines that are used for drilling holes, tapping, reaming, and other general-purpose, small-diameter boring operations.

UNSPSC 23241800 Metal drilling machines, a Class code, encompasses metal drilling and allied production equipment that state and local governments purchase for machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for press brakes, CNC equipment, and shear machine parts — equipment used for metalworking, fabrication, and equipment maintenance at public facilities. The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) is the most active buyer, issuing multiple ITBs over a three-month window for press brakes, CNC lathes, machining centers, and general machine shop equipment. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has also solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines, seeking bearings, seals, clutches, and mechanical assemblies to support ongoing production operations. The issuing-body mix comprises primarily state higher-education systems and state transportation departments; Hillsborough County appeared once with a composting equipment maintenance procurement. Responses are submitted electronically through platform systems such as AggieBid (TAMUS), Euna Procurement (TxDOT and Hillsborough County), and state portals, with most opportunities posted as ITBs or IFBs with response windows of ten to thirty days.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where TAMUS posted press brake and CNC equipment ITBs in June, July, and September–October 2026 (TAMUS-ITB-26-0540, TAMUS-ITB-26-0541, TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, TAMUS-ITB-27-0545, and TAMUS-ITB-27-0548) and TxDOT issued Cincinnati Shear replacement-parts IFBs in April and June 2026 (601440000052666 and 601440000053313, both with responses due in June 2026). California posted an RFB for a Water Table CNC Hypertherm Plasma Cutter in June 2026 (RFB-IS-26201000, due June 15, 2026). Hillsborough County, Florida announced a sole-source maintenance and parts procurement for Komptech composting equipment over five years at $1,992,824.18 (SS2600306, due June 25, 2026). Geographic activity spans Texas, California, and Florida; TAMUS dominates the recent record with five press-brake and CNC-equipment solicitations closed or open between June and October 2026.
