UNSPSC 23242207: Gear grinding machine

Gear grinding machines finish the gears by grinding them with grinding wheels in the exact shape of the tooth spacing of the gears.

UNSPSC 23242207 Gear grinding machine is a Commodity code that captures specialized industrial machinery used in manufacturing and equipment fabrication. State and local governments procure gear grinding machines primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and regional procurement consortia that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects a broader pattern: state and local bodies source this equipment as part of law enforcement and public-safety equipment procurement frameworks, though the specific application of gear grinding machines within those frameworks varies. Issuing bodies include state-level cooperative purchasing units (notably Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit), multi-county consortia spanning Pacific Northwest jurisdictions, and participating public entities ranging from municipal police departments to higher education institutions and tribal governments. The cooperative purchasing structure allows these bodies to establish standing contracts with vendors that serve thousands of governmental agencies across a dispersed geographic footprint.

The most recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest, with Sourcewell RFP #061626 drawing participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. This RFP, posted May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, seeks to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. Vendors submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no specific award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in available documentation. The resulting contract(s) will be reserved for potential future utilization through a participating addendum with Sourcewell, allowing flexibility in how the contracting solution is deployed across participating entities.
