UNSPSC 23241804: Numerically controlled drilling machine

Numerically controlled drilling machines in which various drilling operations are performed automatically and in the desired sequence with the use of a turret.

UNSPSC 23241804 Numerically controlled drilling machine is a Commodity code representing CNC equipment and related precision machining tools that state and local governments buy for institutional machine shops, training programs, and production facilities. State and local solicitations under this code span equipment purchases (CNC mills, lathes, wire EDM machines, and related systems), original equipment manufacturer replacement parts and maintenance for existing machines, training packages bundled with equipment and technical support, and specialized procurement like shearing and plasma-cutting systems. Buying entities include university systems and technical colleges purchasing for engineering and trades training, state transportation departments procuring for production shops, county facilities managing compost and waste-processing equipment, and K–12 school districts establishing or upgrading vocational programs. Texas A&M University System has issued multiple recent ITBs for CNC equipment, suggesting repeat procurement activity within large academic systems; other buyers—Texas Department of Transportation, Polk County Schools, Texas State Technical College, and state-level agencies in California—show episodic purchasing driven by program expansion or equipment replacement cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. Texas A&M University System posted ITBs for a CNC lathe and machining center (TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, due July 23, 2026), machine shop and fabrication equipment (TAMUS-ITB-26-0541, due July 15, 2026), and CNC equipment generally (TAMUS-ITB-26-0540, due July 13, 2026); Texas State Technical College issued RFP-315 for Wire EDM machines with an anticipated value exceeding $100,000 (due March 11, 2026); and TxDOT solicited Cincinnati Shear machine OEM replacement parts twice in recent months. California issued RFB-IS-26201000 for a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (due June 11, 2026) and RFB-IS-26200650 for a shearing machine (due March 10, 2026). The Polk County Schools RFQ for CNC training equipment (due March 24, 2026) illustrates the training-bundled variant. Geographic reach extends beyond Texas and California through a Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626) for law enforcement equipment spanning multiple Washington counties and broader U.S. jurisdictions. Hillsborough County, Florida issued a sole-source maintenance notice for composting equipment parts, indicating aftermarket and service work also falls within code activity.
