UNSPSC 23251508: Steel bar bending machine

A metal forming machine that bends steel rod to desired shape.

UNSPSC 23251508 Steel bar bending machine, a Commodity code, covers industrial metal-working equipment that state and local governments procure for manufacturing, fabrication, and technical training operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring CNC machine tools, wire electrical discharge machines, shearing machines, and related machine-shop equipment—broader than the code's nominal scope of bar bending specifically. The work encompasses equipment purchase, delivery, installation, operator training, and multi-year parts and service warranty. Issuing bodies include university systems (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College), state procurement offices (California, Texas Department of Transportation), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), school districts (Polk County Schools, Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving regional and statewide public sector consortia (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington-state counties).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with additional procurement from California and Washington-state coordinated jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas A&M University System's ITB for CNC Equipment (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0540, due July 13, 2026), Machine Shop, Welding, and Fabrication Equipment (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541, due July 15, 2026), and a CNC Lathe and Machining Center (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, due July 23, 2026); Texas Department of Transportation's procurement for OEM Replacement Parts for a Cincinnati Shear Machine (IFB 601440000053313, due June 2, 2026); the School Board of Polk County's RFP for CNC training equipment with simulator, tooling, training and two-year warranty (due March 24, 2026); and Texas State Technical College's RFP for Wire Electrical Discharge Machines with anticipated value exceeding $100,000 and a mandatory subcontracting plan requirement (due March 11, 2026). All solicitations require electronic bid submission through agency-specific procurement platforms (AggieBid, EUNA, Vendorlink, or Rsolution/Jaggaer) and specify delivery to campus or operational sites with installation and testing by contracted date.
