UNSPSC 23241802: Gang drilling machine

Drilling machines with multiple spindles that are capable of drilling as many as 50 holes of varying size, depth, and location in a single step.

UNSPSC 23241802 Gang drilling machine is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized metalworking and fabrication equipment. Recent activity shows the code tagged to highly varied equipment solicitations — press brakes, CNC lathes, machining centers, plasma cutters, and replacement parts for industrial machinery — indicating that the code as applied may span a broader swath of machine shop and fabrication gear than the "gang drilling machine" label suggests. The mix of issuing bodies includes higher-education systems (Texas A&M University System), state departments of transportation and criminal justice (Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county facilities management (Hillsborough County, Florida), and state procurement offices (State of California). These bodies solicit equipment purchases, OEM replacement parts, maintenance and repair services, and sole-source parts supply under this code.

Texas A&M University System is a standout repeat buyer, posting six separate ITBs for machine shop equipment between late June and mid-October 2026 — press brakes (ITB TAMUS-ITB-27-0548, due October 29, 2026; ITB TAMUS-ITB-27-0545, due September 25, 2026), CNC equipment (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0540, due July 13, 2026), a CNC lathe and machining center (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, due July 23, 2026), and machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment broadly (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541, due July 15, 2026). All TAMUS bids are ITBs due electronically through the AggieBid platform. The Texas Department of Transportation has issued two separate ITBs for Cincinnati Shear machine OEM replacement parts (IFB 601440000053313, due June 2, 2026; IFB 601440000052666, due April 16, 2026), with delivery to the Austin production shop. Hillsborough County solicited a five-year sole-source maintenance and parts supply for Komptech composting equipment (SS2600306, challenges due June 25, 2026) valued at $1,992,824.18. The State of California posted RFBs for CNC plasma cutting equipment (RFB-IS-26201000, due June 15, 2026; RFBIS27200068, due August 17, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with secondary activity in California and Florida; the code also appears in a Washington-state cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026), though that opportunity shows no clear connection to gang drilling or machine shop equipment.
