UNSPSC 23242119: Lathe bit

A bite that has the processing blade for cutting in the lathe processing.

UNSPSC 23242119 Lathe bit is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify cutting tools for metalworking and machining operations. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect actual lathe-bit purchasing; instead, the sole recent opportunity tagged to this code is a Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment — body armor, duty gear, weapons systems, and related protective or tactical hardware. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope (lathe bits for machine shops) and the work actually being solicited indicates that the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement channels.

The Sourcewell RFP is a multistate cooperative vehicle administered by Minnesota local government units on behalf of participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, intended to establish contracting solutions available to governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Vendors submit through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal exclusively; proposals are due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Given that this opportunity does not align with the lathe-bit commodity classification, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for machinery and cutting-tool procurement in the state and local market and investigate whether lathe-bit sourcing flows through higher-level UNSPSC families or alternate taxonomies within procurement systems.
