UNSPSC 23242119: Lathe bit

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

UNSPSC 23242119 Lathe bit (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, which procures law enforcement equipment for a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle — a category plainly unrelated to machining tools or lathe bits. The mismatch between the code assignment and the actual scope of work suggests either miscoding in the source system or misattribution of the code to a broad cooperative vehicle that encompasses equipment outside the lathe bit taxonomy. No recent solicitations for actual lathe bits or related machining commodities appear in the available records.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit service cooperative operating under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), is the issuing body for the single posted opportunity. The cooperative structure serves thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada, with named participating counties in Washington state including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima. Given the absence of genuine lathe bit solicitations in recent state and local posting activity, pursuit under this code warrants investigation of whether the commodity is typically acquired through blanket master agreements, state tool-supply contracts, or GSA schedules rather than dedicated RFPs at the local level.
