UNSPSC 23242307: Leadscrew

A large screw used to actuate precise movements of the tool or the work when performing cutting or grinding operations on a machine tool such as a lathe.

UNSPSC 23242307 Leadscrew is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity actually covers precision machine tools—specifically CNC lathes, machining centers, and lathe equipment used in educational and vocational settings. State and local buyers under this code include higher education institutions, technical colleges, and cooperative purchasing groups. The recent solicitations show educational institutions procuring capital equipment for machining programs rather than discrete leadscrew components; the code's nominal scope diverges from what is actually being bought. The Texas A&M University System and Central Georgia Technical College account for multiple recent opportunities, suggesting that academic machinery replacement and curriculum-driven equipment upgrades drive activity under this code. Vendors responding to these solicitations must meet exact specifications and brand requirements—Central Georgia Technical College mandated the Sole Brand Pro-Cut PCX15-6ADP lathe with no substitution permitted, while Texas A&M sought CNC equipment meeting documented technical specifications through its AggieBid procurement portal.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Texas A&M University System issued two ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC equipment and a CNC lathe and machining center, with response dates of July 13 and July 23, 2026, respectively. Central Georgia Technical College issued an eRFQ in February 2026 for two Pro-Cut PCX15-6ADP Lathes with a response deadline of February 27, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 posted in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment—plainly unrelated to the code's machinery scope—indicates inconsistent coding practices in state and local systems. Vendors should expect electronic submission requirements through state-specific platforms (AggieBid for Texas, Team Georgia Marketplace for Georgia, Sourcewell portal for Minnesota-led cooperatives) and strict compliance with specification and deadline enforcement mechanisms. Response cycles are typically two to four weeks from posting.
