UNSPSC 23251813: Cabling die

Attachment for manufacture of steel cable or wire.

UNSPSC 23251813 Cabling die is a Commodity code that describes specialized dies and tooling used in the manufacture or assembly of cables and cabling systems. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code diverge sharply from its nominal scope. The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) has posted six ITBs tagged to this code between September and October 2026, yet all six solicit industrial equipment — CNC routers, press brakes, and 3D printers — that bear no relationship to cabling die manufacturing. A single cooperative purchasing RFP from Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and national participating entities seeks law enforcement equipment, which is also unrelated to the code's stated purpose. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local governments are not actually buying cabling dies under this classification. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source data or that TAMUS and Sourcewell have applied an incorrect UNSPSC tag to their solicitations.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (all TAMUS solicitations) and Washington state (the Sourcewell cooperative), with the Sourcewell RFP extending nationally to thousands of participating governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments. The TAMUS ITBs closed between September 24 and October 29, 2026, and responses were submitted through the AggieBid electronic procurement platform with questions directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 closed June 16, 2026, and was conducted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Contract values, technical specifications, incumbent information, and detailed scope are not disclosed in the available summaries for any opportunity.
