UNSPSC 23251804: Fine blanking die

Fine blanking dies produce very smooth and square edges on sheet metal.

UNSPSC 23251804 Fine blanking die is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct solicitation under state and local procurement channels. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026—is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment serving thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. The RFP does not identify fine blanking dies or specialized die manufacturing as a material scope element; the solicitation frames the opportunity as a broad law enforcement equipment procurement through Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative operating under Washington state law (RCW 39.34). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—precision metal stamping dies—and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-tagging anomaly in the state and local opportunity repository or that fine blanking die manufacturing is a minor or incidental component within a larger law enforcement equipment supply arrangement.

Geographic activity under the code is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Washington state (the jurisdictions named in the Sourcewell solicitation), with a Minnesota-based administrative entity. No other recent state or local opportunities appear in the source. Vendors pursuing this code should verify directly with Sourcewell at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930 whether fine blanking dies or stamping tooling are within the scope of the law enforcement equipment procurement, as the available documentation does not explicitly confirm the relevance of this commodity classification to the solicitation.
