UNSPSC 23242115: Tailstock

The tailstock, which can slide along the ways and be clamped at any position, supports the other end of the workpiece on a lathe.

UNSPSC 23242115 Tailstock, a Commodity code, describes metal-working machine components that state and local governments acquire for equipment procurement, repair, and maintenance. Recent activity shows Texas A&M University System soliciting press brakes repeatedly under ITB notices, with three separate press-brake bids posted between June and October 2026. The code captures the tailstock itself as a discrete part, but state and local buyers are acquiring it primarily as part of broader equipment purchases—press brakes, CNC equipment, and machine-shop installations—rather than as standalone components. Texas A&M has emerged as a repeat buyer, posting multiple ITBs for machining and fabrication equipment through its AggieBid platform with Sterling Crowdus as the primary procurement contact.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas, with six separate TAMUS ITBs for CNC equipment, machine-shop tooling, and press brakes posted between June and October 2026, all due within 10–15 days of posting and closed through AggieBid at bids.sciquest.com. A Texas Department of Transportation IFB for OEM replacement parts for a Cincinnati Shear machine (June 2026, due June 2, 2026) and a Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP for an ironworker position (August 2026, due August 24, 2026) appear in the recent block but are unrelated to tailstock procurement. A Hillsborough County, Florida sole-source notice for composting-equipment maintenance (June 2026) and State of California RFBs for plasma-cutting equipment (June 2026) round out geographic distribution, though neither directly concerns tailstock. The code shows limited recent state and local activity specifically targeting tailstock as a named line item; most opportunities bundle tailstock procurement within larger capital-equipment or facility-maintenance solicitations.
