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 that reflects state and local procurement of hand tools and tool sets far more than threading dies specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code purchase broad categories of hand tools — hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, saws, shovels, axes, rakes, files, and organized master tool sets for fleet and garage maintenance. Issuing bodies range from city procurement departments to county commissions to statewide cooperative purchasing divisions acting on behalf of state departments and higher-education institutions. The scope covers both individual hand tools supplied as-needed and comprehensive pre-assembled master tool sets meeting specific piece counts and organization standards. Contracts typically span one to five years with optional renewal periods, require fixed pricing subject to indexed escalation adjustments, and mandate FOB delivery within specified timeframes — often five to sixty days of purchase order receipt.
