UNSPSC 23241809: Bench drilling machine

A small vertical drilling machine that is installed on work table or bench.

UNSPSC 23241809 Bench drilling machine (Commodity) covers precision metalworking equipment that state and local governments procure for educational institutions, transportation departments, and county operations—including not only bench drilling machines but also CNC lathes, machining centers, wire electrical discharge machines, shearing machines, and related machine shop equipment. Recent solicitations show that buyers under this code are actually acquiring full machining systems, replacement parts for existing equipment, and integrated training solutions rather than standalone benchtop drills. Educational buyers dominate the activity, with Texas A&M University System issuing multiple ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC equipment, a CNC lathe and machining center, and machine shop and welding fabrication equipment. Texas State Technical College posted an RFP in March 2026 for Wire EDM machines and transformers with an anticipated value exceeding $100,000 to support apprenticeship training. The Polk County School Board, Florida, sought a comprehensive CNC training solution in April 2026 including desktop mills, lathes, simulators, and tooling. State transportation and public works departments also appear, with the Texas Department of Transportation soliciting OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines on multiple occasions.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, with activity across Texas A&M System, Texas State Technical College, TxDOT, and Polk County (Florida). California posted solicitations for a water table CNC plasma cutter and a shearing machine in February and June 2026. Hillsborough County, Florida, issued a sole-source notice of intent in June 2026 for $1,992,824.18 in maintenance, repairs, and parts for Komptech composting equipment over five years. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, advertised an RFP in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of five Washington counties and other entities across the United States and Canada. Representative recent opportunities include Texas A&M's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center due July 23, 2026; TSTC's RFP-315 for Wire EDM machines due March 11, 2026; and TxDOT's IFB 601440000053313 for Cincinnati Shear OEM parts due June 2, 2026. All Texas A&M solicitations direct vendors to the AggieBid electronic procurement platform; Texas solicitations use Euna Procurement or Bonfire Hub.
