UNSPSC 23251806: Metal extrusion die

UNSPSC 23251806 Metal extrusion die is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code are actually solicitations for hand tools — shovels, hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, pry bars, brooms, brushes, saws, and similar implements for general maintenance, fleet repair, and facility operations. None of the opportunities involve metal extrusion dies, tooling, or manufacturing equipment. The issuing bodies include a city (City of Augusta, Georgia), a state purchasing division (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring for TxDOT and other state agencies via cooperative purchasing), and a county board of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggests that either the code was applied in error by the procurement offices or the database carries misclassified records.

The City of Augusta posted ITB 27-001 on September 10, 2026, seeking bids due September 29, 2026, for 39 line items of hand tools on an annual contract with a Local Bidders Preference for awards of $100,000 or less. The Texas Comptroller posted an Invitation for Bid on June 11, 2026, due the same day, for master tool sets and individual tools (including hand tools, power tools, diagnostic tools, and storage solutions) for use by TxDOT and other state agencies under the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 28, 2026. Hillsborough County posted ITB 26-00285 on June 2, 2026, due June 23, 2026, for 52 line items of hand tools with an estimated value of $715,540.41 over five years. The code shows no relevant recent activity for metal extrusion dies or related manufacturing tooling.
