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, encompasses precision machine tool components and related equipment that state and local governments procure for manufacturing, machining, and fabrication operations. Recent solicitations frame the code's actual scope: Texas A&M University System is actively soliciting CNC lathe systems, CNC equipment, and machine shop and welding fabrication equipment through multiple ITBs (TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, TAMUS-ITB-26-0541, TAMUS-ITB-26-0540) with responses due in mid to late July 2026. Texas State Technical College is procuring Wire Electrical Discharge Machining systems and transformers for precision machining technology training. The School Board of Polk County, Florida requested comprehensive CNC training solutions including desktop and industrial CNC lathes, mills, simulators, and tooling. Separately, the Texas Department of Transportation and State of California have solicited Original Equipment Manufacturer replacement parts and shearing machines, and the code also captures maintenance and parts procurement for specialized equipment such as composting equipment through Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement with Powerscreen of Florida valued at $1,992,824.18 over five years. Issuing bodies consist primarily of higher-education procurement offices (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College), K–12 school districts (School Board of Polk County), state transportation and equipment agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, State of California), and county utilities departments (Hillsborough County).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in California. The most active buyer is the Texas A&M University System, which posted three separate ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC and machining equipment through its AggieBid procurement platform. The Texas Department of Transportation issued multiple IFBs for Cincinnati Shear machine replacement parts in April and June 2026 due through the Euna Procurement system. Geographic spread includes Texas (multiple university and state agency opportunities), Florida (educational and county-level equipment and maintenance), and California (state equipment procurement). Response deadlines for open opportunities range from late June through late July 2026, with most solicitations requiring electronic submission through vendor-specific platforms (AggieBid for Texas A&M, Euna for TxDOT, Vendorlink for Polk County schools). No federal set-asides are reported; Texas state preference categories (Texas-produced supplies, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, recycled materials) apply to TxDOT procurements.
