UNSPSC 23251509: Wire drawing machine

A metal processing machine that reduces the diameter of worked material by pulling or drawing it through metal dies with the cross section of product shape.

UNSPSC 23251509 Wire drawing machine is a Commodity code covering specialized metal-working and machining equipment being procured by state agencies, universities, and county governments. The actual work under this code includes the acquisition of CNC equipment, electrical discharge machining systems, wire EDM machines, machining centers, and associated tooling and support services for manufacturing and technical training programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing complete machining systems with ancillary services such as installation, operator training, parts warranties, and maintenance support. The code also captures OEM replacement parts and consumables for industrial machinery, including bearings, seals, fasteners, and specialized components. Issuing bodies include university systems (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College), state departments (Texas Department of Transportation, State of California), county governments (Hillsborough County), and school districts (School Board of Polk County, Florida). Texas A&M and TxDOT emerge as repeat buyers, with multiple ITBs and IFBs posted within the past two months.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Texas A&M University System posted three ITBs between late June and mid-July 2026 for CNC equipment (TAMUS-ITB-26-0540, July 13 response deadline), machine shop and fabrication equipment (TAMUS-ITB-26-0541, July 15 deadline), and a CNC lathe and machining center (TAMUS-ITB-26-0542, July 23 deadline). Texas Department of Transportation solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines in both April and June 2026 through the Euna Procurement system. Texas State Technical College issued an RFP for Wire EDM machines and transformers (RFP-315, March 11 deadline) with an anticipated value exceeding $100,000 and a mandatory Subcontracting Plan requirement. Hillsborough County in Florida issued a notice of intent for a sole-source five-year maintenance contract with Powerscreen of Florida for Komptech composting equipment parts and service valued at $1,992,824.18. The School Board of Polk County, Florida requested vendor responses for comprehensive CNC training equipment including desktop mills, lathes, simulators, and tooling (due March 24, 2026). California and Sourcewell (representing multiple Washington-state jurisdictions) also posted relevant solicitations, including an RFB for a water-table CNC plasma cutter and a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment.
