UNSPSC 23251812: Industrial threading die

An industrial variant of a threading die used in metal forming machinery. It cuts an external thread on cylindrical material, such as a rod, which creates a male threaded piece that functions like a bolt.

UNSPSC 23251812 Industrial threading die is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure hand and power tools, tool sets, and related supplies for fleet maintenance, public works, and facility operations. The recent solicitations show that issuing bodies are actually buying comprehensive master tool sets (containing 1,000+ pieces of hand tools, pneumatic tools, diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions), individual hand tools (pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, brushes), power tools in battery-powered, air-powered, and corded variants, and tap-and-die sets as components of larger tool packages. State departments, county governments, and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring on behalf of TxDOT and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners buying tools for ongoing fleet and facility operations, and the City of Dallas establishing a master agreement serving all city departments. Vendors must typically demonstrate five to seven years of experience in the professional-grade tools business, maintain statewide or citywide service and delivery capabilities (sometimes within 24 hours), and hold manufacturer authorization letters.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with the Texas Comptroller's statewide cooperative procurement (IFB 304T26445A1, due June 11, 2026) offering an initial term through July 31, 2027, with renewal options extending to July 31, 2030; the Hillsborough County ITB (ITB2600285, due June 23, 2026) covering an estimated $715,540.41 over five years for hand tool line items; and the City of Dallas establishing a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement (BL26-00029896, due April 24, 2026) for hand and power tools and supplies across all city departments. The Texas SmartBuy procurement requires master tool set pricing as all-inclusive firm pricing plus a 1.5 percent administrative fee, while Hillsborough County and Dallas structure pricing as firm markups or discounts from manufacturer catalogs with annual CPI-U or Producer Price Index adjustments. Contracts include ten-year warranties (or manufacturer warranty if longer) and require vendor insurance ranging from $500,000 to coverage compliant with city living wage policies currently set at $23.06 per hour for Dallas.
