UNSPSC 23242611: Notching machine

A metalworking machine that cuts off the edges or corners of the workpiece according to a predetermined dimension.

UNSPSC 23242611 Notching machine (Commodity) encompasses metalworking equipment and specialized replacement parts for machine tools that state and local governments procure to support manufacturing operations, training programs, and facility maintenance. Recent activity reflects a broader pattern of procurement for precision machining equipment including CNC systems, plasma cutters, wire electrical discharge machines, shearing equipment, and associated replacement parts and tooling. State and local buyers under this code include higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College, Polk County Schools), state transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation), counties (Hillsborough County), and state procurement offices (California). The mix leans toward educational and vocational training programs, maintenance of existing shop equipment, and capital acquisition for manufacturing operations.

Texas, Florida, and California dominate recent activity. The Texas A&M University System has posted three separate ITBs since late June 2026 for CNC equipment, machine shop and welding equipment, and a CNC lathe and machining center (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, due July 23, 2026); Texas Department of Transportation issued consecutive IFBs for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines (most recently ITB 601440000053313, due June 2, 2026); Polk County Schools issued a vendor response request for comprehensive CNC training systems including desktop mills, lathes, simulators, and tooling (due March 24, 2026); and Hillsborough County awarded a five-year sole-source maintenance contract to Powerscreen of Florida for Komptech composting equipment at an estimated value of $1,992,824.18. Texas State Technical College solicited Wire EDM machines and transformers under an IDIQ vehicle (RFP-315, due March 11, 2026), and the State of California posted RFBs for a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter and a shearing machine. All recent Texas higher-education and state procurement submissions route through electronic platforms—AggieBid for TAMUS and Jaggaer for TSTC—with firm response deadlines and no accommodation for late submissions.
