UNSPSC 23242100: Metal cutting machine attachments

UNSPSC 23242100 Metal cutting machine attachments is a Class code covering equipment and components used in machine shops and manufacturing operations. State and local governments procure press brakes, CNC equipment, lathe attachments, and related machine-shop assets under this code. The issuing bodies are primarily higher-education institutions and state departments—notably the Texas A&M University System, which has posted multiple ITBs for press brakes and CNC equipment since June 2026, and the Texas Department of Transportation, which has solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines. One sole-source procurement from Hillsborough County, Florida, covered composting-equipment parts and maintenance totaling $1,992,824.18 over five years, though this represents equipment maintenance rather than machine-shop attachments per se. The code shows robust activity in Texas; California has posted RFBs for plasma-cutting equipment; and Florida and Minnesota cooperative purchasing have generated law-enforcement and equipment-focused solicitations.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code. The Texas A&M University System issued ITBs for a press brake (TAMUSITB270548, due October 29, 2026, and TAMUSITB270545, due September 25, 2026) and for CNC equipment and machine-shop fabrication assets (TAMUSITB260540, TAMUSITB260541, TAMUSITB260542) through June and July 2026, all via the AggieBid platform. The Texas Department of Transportation solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines in May and June 2026 (IFB 601440000052666 and IFB 601440000053313) through the Euna Procurement system, with quantities ranging across 23 line items and past-performance evaluation criteria applied. California issued an RFB for a water-table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (RFB-IS-26201000, due June 15, 2026) and a separate bid for unlabeled assets (RFB-IS-27200068, due August 17, 2026). Response windows are typically two to four weeks; addenda and Q&A are managed within vendor portals (AggieBid, Euna, or California's system). No set-aside designations or incumbent-vendor information appear in the recent records.
