UNSPSC 23242509: Turret milling machine

A type of vertical milling machine that has a stationary spindle and the table is moved both perpendicular and parallel to the spindle axis to accomplish cutting.

UNSPSC 23242509 Turret milling machine (Commodity) covers CNC and manual milling equipment that state and local governments procure for higher education fabrication labs, county public works operations, and institutional machine shops. Recent activity shows universities and colleges dominating buys, with two Texas A&M University System ITBs posted in June 2026 for CNC equipment and machine shop/welding/fabrication equipment (TAMUSITB260540 due July 13, 2026; TAMUSITB260541 due July 15, 2026), and two documented-quote procurements from Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) through the Auraria Higher Education Center in April 2026 requesting Sharp Industries vertical mills and lathes with CNC controls. These university-focused solicitations emphasize new equipment in original manufacturer packaging with factory-installed digital readouts and complete installation services. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly higher education institutions—the Texas A&M System procurement platform (AggieBid) and Colorado's higher education center—with specifications requiring precision CNC controls, operator support, and fixed delivery timelines tied to academic calendars or facility readiness dates.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Colorado, with the Texas A&M System running parallel equipment procurements through a centralized shared-services procurement unit and MSU Denver consolidating buys through the Auraria Higher Education Center. No recent state or local government procurement outside the higher education sector appears under this code in the source materials; county or municipal public works agencies do not surface. Questions for the Texas A&M procurements route through Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu within the AggieBid platform, with electronic bid submission required. MSU Denver directed quotes to Ken Kasparek via email or BidNet, with cost as the primary evaluation criterion and quoted rates firm for 90 days from April 16, 2026. The code shows steady higher education demand but limited visibility into county or municipal equipment needs; pursue if your firm serves academic fabrication labs or supplies CNC mills with turnkey installation and training packages.
