UNSPSC 23242204: Gear lapping machine

Gear lapping machines further improve the surface finish from honing machines. The ground gear teeth are lapped using abrasive compounds with either a gear-shaped lapping tool or a pair of mating gears that are run together.

UNSPSC 23242204 Gear lapping machine is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not appear to be actively solicited. The Texas A&M University System has posted multiple ITBs since mid-September 2026—for industrial CNC routers, press brakes, and 3D printers—all tagged under this code number, but none of these solicitations align with gear lapping machinery. A separate Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment, posted in May 2026, is similarly unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data tagging error within these issuing bodies' procurement systems or that gear lapping machines are not currently being purchased through state or local channels in sufficient volume to generate recent opportunities.

The recent activity under this code appears concentrated at Texas A&M University System (five ITBs issued between September 10 and October 23, 2026), with procurement questions directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu and submissions required through the AggieBid electronic procurement platform. All deadlines have passed or are imminent; the most recent open ITBs close on October 23 and October 29, 2026. Vendors interested in gear lapping machine procurement through state and local channels should monitor Texas A&M System opportunities directly through AggieBid or verify that upcoming solicitations are correctly coded before committing resources to pre-bid activity.
