UNSPSC 23241901: Horizontal boring machine

A boring machine in which the spindle of the machine is oriented in the horizontal direction.

UNSPSC 23241901 Horizontal boring machine is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of machine tools and equipment for fabrication, machining, and material processing operations. Recent solicitations show that the code is being applied to a broader range of equipment than its nominal scope suggests — including press brakes, CNC lathes, machining centers, plasma cutters, and OEM replacement parts for industrial machinery. Texas A&M University System has issued multiple ITBs (TAMUS-ITB-27-0545, TAMUS-ITB-27-0548, TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, TAMUS-ITB-26-0541, TAMUS-ITB-26-0540) for press brakes, CNC equipment, and machine shop and fabrication equipment between June and October 2026, all with response windows of 7–15 days and all submissions required through the AggieBid platform. The State of California (RFB IS-27200068, RFB-IS-26201000) and Texas Department of Transportation (601440000053313, 601440000052666) have solicited for OEM replacement parts and specialized cutting equipment in June 2026. Hillsborough County, Florida awarded sole-source maintenance and parts for composting equipment to Powerscreen of Florida, Inc. at $1,992,824.18 over five years (June 2026), and Sourcewell issued a cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline spanning multiple Pacific Northwest and national jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies are primarily higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University System), state agencies (California and Texas Department of Transportation), county governments (Hillsborough County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and other states' counties). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, California, and Florida, with some broader multistate participation through Sourcewell. The mix of recent solicitations suggests significant demand from educational and state-agency procurement offices for equipment replacement, upgrade, and maintenance-support contracts. Most TAMUS opportunities have been ITBs with strict electronic submission through AggieBid; TxDOT has used both IFB and proprietary-designation notices requiring CMBL registration and Euna Procurement portal submission. Response timelines are consistently compressed (7–15 days), and technical specifications are reserved to full solicitation documents, not disclosed in public notices. Set-asides, preferences, and incumbent-contractor information are not detailed in available summaries but are referenced as contained in full procurement documents.
