UNSPSC 23251806: Metal extrusion die

UNSPSC 23251806 Metal extrusion die is a Commodity code that frames work actually being solicited under it poorly — recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are procuring hand tools, power tools, tool sets, and tool storage systems for fleet maintenance and general operations, not metal extrusion dies or their manufacturing inputs. The scope of current work centers on master mechanic tool sets containing 1,100+ pieces (wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, pullers, chisels, drill bits, pneumatic tools, diagnostic equipment, and roll-cab storage with foam and shadow-board organization), individual hand tools and power tools (battery-powered, air-powered, and corded electric variants), and related supplies. Issuing bodies range across state procurement offices (the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring statewide via cooperative purchasing for state agencies and higher education), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Dallas). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope; the tagged opportunities reflect a cataloging mismatch rather than true metal extrusion die procurement.

The three recent opportunities concentrate in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-445A1 (due June 11, 2026) procured master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for TxDOT and other state agencies, with awards to multiple vendors and a contract term through July 31, 2027, plus four renewal options; respondents required minimum seven years' professional-grade mechanic tools business experience, statewide 24-hour on-site repair capability, and $500,000 minimum commercial general liability insurance. Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00285 (due June 23, 2026) sought sealed bids for 52 line items of hand tools with brand-name specifications and an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41, requiring five-business-day delivery to county warehouse locations. The City of Dallas's BL26-00029896 (due April 24, 2026) established a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement for hand and power tools and supplies with firm markup or discount pricing against manufacturer list price; bidders required five years' prior operation, manufacturer authorization letters, and twenty-four-hour emergency delivery capability, with local preference available for firms within the Dallas city limit.
