UNSPSC 23251807: Metal stamp

UNSPSC 23251807 Metal stamp (Commodity) encompasses production and replacement parts for metal-forming machinery—specifically shears, presses, and related fabrication equipment—that state and local governments purchase for operations in maintenance shops, correctional facilities, universities, and transportation departments. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers primarily acquiring original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts for specialized metal-working equipment (Cincinnati Shear machines, press brakes, CNC equipment), as well as standalone metal-stamping and fabrication systems for institutional use. The issuing bodies are predominantly university systems and state transportation departments, with occasional municipal procurement through cooperative vehicles. Texas A&M University System has posted multiple ITBs for press brakes and CNC equipment since June 2026; Texas Department of Transportation has solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines; and the State of California has requested a water-table CNC plasma cutter. The code also captures specialized parts procurement—Hillsborough County recently posted a notice of intent for five years of maintenance and replacement parts for Komptech composting equipment, valued at $1,992,824.18.

Activity under this code concentrates in Texas and California, with recent opportunities spanning June through October 2026. Texas A&M University System remains a repeat buyer, issuing at least four ITBs for press brakes and CNC equipment (due dates July 13, July 23, September 25, and October 29, 2026). Texas Department of Transportation solicited OEM Cincinnati Shear parts twice (responses due April 16 and June 2, 2026, both through Euna Procurement using best-value criteria). The State of California issued an RFB for a water-table CNC plasma cutter (due June 15, 2026) and a separate RFB for unspecified industrial equipment (due August 17, 2026). Hillsborough County's five-year sole-source award to Powerscreen of Florida for composting equipment maintenance (notice posted June 17, 2026, with challenges due June 25) illustrates the code's use for long-term parts and service contracts. Response deadlines cluster in the second and third quarters; all submissions route through agency-specific portals (AggieBid for TAMUS, Euna Procurement for state agencies, Sourcewell for cooperative vehicles). No federal set-asides appear in recent postings, though Texas Government Code bid preferences (Texas-produced materials, service-disabled veteran enterprises, economically depressed areas) are available where applicable.
