UNSPSC 23242403: Vertical machining center

A machining center with a vertical spindle. Vertical machining centers are suitable for performing various machining operations on flat surfaces with deep cavities, such as in mold and die making.

UNSPSC 23242403 Vertical machining center is a Commodity code for CNC machining equipment that state and local governments acquire for operational use, maintenance programs, and equipment transfer initiatives. Recent solicitations show demand across transit authorities, university systems, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The work spans acquisition of new or recertified CNC equipment, including vertical machining centers and CNC lathes, with emphasis on timely delivery, adherence to FOB Destination freight terms, and integration into existing mechanical or fabrication programs. State and local issuing bodies include transit authorities, university systems, and intergovernmental cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the upper Midwest. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority issued a bids solicitation (REQ2099591) for recertification and transfer of HPE equipment with response due August 5, 2026; payment terms are Net 30 with FOB Destination freight included in the overall price and delivery timing material to contract performance. The Texas A&M University System posted two separate ITBs for CNC equipment — TAMUS-ITB-26-0540 (due July 13, 2026) and TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center (due July 23, 2026) — both requiring electronic submission through AggieBid with all addenda posted exclusively on that platform. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and multiple U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions, though this particular solicitation appears tangential to the machining-center code scope and may represent a tagging mismatch in the source data.
