UNSPSC 23242607: Super finishing machine

Super-finishing machines are used to improve surface finish of parts by applying a very light pressure and having the stone move in a motion with short strokes.

UNSPSC 23242607 Super finishing machine, a Commodity code, encompasses industrial metalworking and fabrication equipment that state and local governments procure for university research facilities, manufacturing labs, and technical training programs. The recent solicitation record shows state and local buyers acquiring CNC routers, press brakes, and 3D printers — equipment used for precision machining, sheet metal forming, and additive manufacturing in educational and operational settings. The Texas A&M University System dominates the recent activity, issuing multiple ITBs over a two-month window for industrial equipment to support campus operations and research infrastructure. Universities and higher education institutions are the primary issuing bodies under this code, though the cooperative purchasing example (Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP) indicates broader state and county participation in specialized procurement frameworks.

Texas shows the most concentrated recent activity, with the Texas A&M University System posting six ITBs between September 10 and October 16, 2026 for press brakes (multiple rounds), CNC routers, and 3D printers, all with response dates between September 24 and October 29, 2026. All Texas A&M ITBs route through the AggieBid electronic platform with Sterling Crowdus (soprocurement@tamus.edu) as the primary contact; submissions after posted deadlines are automatically rejected. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026, represents activity spanning Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, though the law enforcement equipment scope deviates from the industrial finishing-machine focus of the Texas A&M solicitations. Specific contract values, incumbent vendor information, and detailed technical specifications are withheld from public ESBD postings and contained exclusively within ITB or RFP portals.
