UNSPSC 23242104: Form tools or toolbits

UNSPSC 23242104 Form tools or toolbits (Commodity) covers metal-forming and machining equipment that state and local governments buy for in-house fabrication, welding, and production shops — specifically press brakes, CNC lathes, machining centers, plasma cutters, and shear machines, along with OEM replacement parts and maintenance services for this equipment. The issuing bodies are diverse: Texas A&M University System appears most frequently in the recent record, but activity also comes from the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Hillsborough County (Florida), the State of California, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple states and counties). The work ranges from outright equipment procurement to sole-source maintenance contracts for specialized Komptech composting equipment and OEM parts for Cincinnati shear machines.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California, with secondary activity in Florida and multistate cooperative purchasing. Texas A&M University System issued five ITBs between June and October 2026 — ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0540 (CNC equipment, due July 13, 2026), ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 (machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment, due July 15, 2026), ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 (CNC lathe and machining center, due July 23, 2026), ITB TAMUS-ITB-27-0545 (press brake, due September 25, 2026), and ITB TAMUS-ITB-270548 (press brake, due October 29, 2026), all managed through the AggieBid procurement platform. TxDOT solicited OEM replacement parts for a Cincinnati Shear machine in two separate IFBs (June 2026 and April 2026). Hillsborough County issued a notice of intent for a five-year sole-source maintenance contract valued at $1,992,824.18 to Powerscreen of Florida, Inc. for Komptech composting equipment (due June 25, 2026). The State of California released RFB IS-27200068 and RFB-IS-26201000 for a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (due June 2026). Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties (due June 16, 2026), which appears tangential to the core code scope.
