UNSPSC 23242308: Centering machine

A machine that is designed to find the central point on one or both sides of the workpiece prior to drilling and countersinking work to be turned on a lathe.

UNSPSC 23242308 Centering machine is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code for specialized equipment used in manufacturing and laboratory settings, including stock tank upgrades and ancillary components for industrial processes. The sourcing activity tracked under the code reflects discrete equipment installations and upgrades rather than high-volume consumable procurement. Issuing bodies include state universities, cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions, and public entities participating in shared contracting frameworks. Equipment specifications and installation requirements vary widely by end-user department and application.

The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point issued an IFB in March 2026 for false bottoms and automatic drain valves to upgrade two stock tanks in its pilot paper machine laboratory, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit on March 26, 2026, and a response deadline of April 16, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, released an RFP in May 2026 (#061626) for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington state (including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extending nationwide, with responses due June 16, 2026. These opportunities indicate activity concentrated in academic and cooperative purchasing channels, with geographic presence in the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest, though the Sourcewell cooperative structure suggests potential nationwide participation by eligible public sector entities.
