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 covering precision machine tools and related metal-working equipment that state and local governments procure for manufacturing, maintenance, and vocational training operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect actual demand for CNC equipment (CNC lathes, machining centers, wire EDM systems), machine shop and fabrication tools, and replacement parts for specialized industrial machinery including shears and boring equipment. Issuing bodies span university systems (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College), state departments of transportation (Texas Department of Transportation), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), school districts (Polk County Schools, Florida), and state procurement offices (California). The Texas A&M University System appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple ITBs for CNC and machine shop equipment over a narrow timeframe in June and July 2026. Work solicited includes not only equipment acquisition but also maintenance contracts for existing machinery, tooling kits, training services, and OEM replacement parts for production equipment.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in California and multi-state reach through cooperative purchasing frameworks. Recent representative opportunities include Texas A&M University System's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 for machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment (due July 15, 2026) and ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center (due July 23, 2026); Texas State Technical College's RFP-315 for Wire EDM machines with a base contract value exceeding $100,000 (due March 11, 2026); the Texas Department of Transportation's IFB 601440000053313 for OEM replacement parts for a Cincinnati Shear machine in Austin (due June 2, 2026); and Polk County Schools' Request for Vendor Response for comprehensive CNC training equipment with installation, training, and warranty services (due March 24, 2026). Hillsborough County's sole-source maintenance contract with Powerscreen of Florida for composting equipment parts and service (estimated at $1,992,824.18 over five years) illustrates the scale and duration of equipment-support procurement under this code. All recent activity flows through vendor-managed procurement platforms (AggieBid, Euna, Sourcewell, Jaggaer).
