UNSPSC 23242400: Machining centers

Machining centers are computer-controlled machine tools capable of performing a variety of cutting operations on different surfaces and different directions on a workpiece.

UNSPSC 23242400 Machining centers is a Class code that covers the procurement of CNC lathes, machining centers, and related computer-controlled metal-working equipment by state and local entities. Recent state and local opportunities show purchasing directed toward capital equipment acquisition — specifically CNC machinery for operational use — alongside equipment recertification and transfer services. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include university systems, transit authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Texas A&M University System appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple ITB solicitations for CNC equipment within the recent window.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the broader Southwest. Representative opportunities include the Texas A&M University System issuing ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center with bids due July 23, 2026, and ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0540 for CNC equipment with bids due July 13, 2026, both requiring submission through the AggieBid platform with technical questions directed to soprocurement@tamus.edu. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted RFP REQ2099591 for recertification and transfer of HPE equipment due August 5, 2026, with FOB Destination freight terms and Net 30 payment, though this opportunity may represent service work rather than equipment procurement. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington, the upper Midwest, and other jurisdictions nationwide, with proposals due June 16, 2026; this cooperative structure positions vendors to serve thousands of governmental agencies through a single contract framework.
