UNSPSC 23242600: Specialized or miscellaneous metal cutting machines

Specialized machines that only perform one operation or miscellaneous machines.

UNSPSC 23242600 Specialized or miscellaneous metal cutting machines, a Class code, covers CNC lathes, machining centers, wire electrical discharge machines (Wire EDM), shearing machines, and OEM replacement parts for production equipment that state and local governments procure for manufacturing, machine shops, educational training programs, and maintenance operations. The code captures both turnkey equipment sales and ongoing parts-and-service contracts for specialized metalworking machinery.

State and local buyers under this code span higher-education institutions (particularly Texas A&M University System and Texas State Technical College), county waste-management departments, state departments of transportation, school districts, and state procurement offices. Texas A&M University System appears as a repeat buyer with three recent ITBs posted in June and July 2026 for CNC equipment, machine shop and welding equipment, and a wire EDM system. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California, with secondary activity in Florida and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing. Representative solicitations include Texas A&M University System ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center with responses due July 23, 2026; Texas Department of Transportation IFB 601440000053313 for OEM replacement parts (bearings, gaskets, seals, clutches, fasteners, and assemblies) for a Cincinnati Shear machine in Austin, due June 2, 2026; Texas State Technical College RFP-315 for Wire EDM machines and transformers with an anticipated value exceeding $100,000 and installation required by Summer 2026; the State of California RFB-IS-26200650 for a shearing machine with responses due March 10, 2026; and Polk County Schools RFP SS15MJ0426 for a comprehensive CNC training solution including desktop mills, desktop and industrial lathes, control simulator, tooling, delivery, installation, training, and a two-year parts warranty, with responses due March 24, 2026. Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement to Powerscreen of Florida for maintenance, repairs, and parts on Komptech composting equipment ($1,992,824.18 over five years) represents the equipment-service end of the market.
