UNSPSC 23241808: Deep hole drilling machine

A drilling machine that drills relatively deep holes with respect to the hole diameter.

UNSPSC 23241808 Deep hole drilling machine (Commodity) encompasses CNC machine tools, precision machining equipment, and related machine shop hardware that state and local governments procure for educational and operational use. Recent solicitations under this code show state agencies and higher-education institutions buying CNC lathes, machining centers, wire electrical discharge machines (EDM), shearing equipment, and related metal-fabrication tooling—often bundled with installation, training, and warranty support. The issuing bodies are primarily public universities (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College), state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, State of California), county water resources departments (Hillsborough County, Florida), and school districts (Polk County Schools, Florida). These are typically equipment acquisitions rather than consumables, and many are tagged to support workforce development programs in precision manufacturing and skilled trades.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with additional solicitations from California and multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles. Texas A&M University System has posted multiple ITBs for CNC equipment, lathes, and machining centers between late June and mid-July 2026 (TAMUS-ITB-26-0540, 0541, 0542 with response dates July 13, 15, and 23). Texas State Technical College issued an RFP for Wire EDM machines (RFP-315, due March 11, 2026) with a contract value exceeding $100,000. TxDOT posted two IFBs for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines (due April 16 and June 2, 2026). The State of California issued RFBs for a water-table CNC plasma cutter (due June 11, 2026) and a shearing machine (due March 10, 2026). Polk County Schools issued a vendor response request for comprehensive CNC training solutions (due March 24, 2026), and Hillsborough County awarded a sole-source contract to Powerscreen of Florida for maintenance and parts on composting equipment valued at $1,992,824.18 over five years. Sourcewell, on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026).
