UNSPSC 23251813: Cabling die

Attachment for manufacture of steel cable or wire.

UNSPSC 23251813 Cabling die, a Commodity code, covers specialized tooling and dies used in wire and cable manufacturing operations. State and local governments procure this equipment primarily through higher education institutions and public utilities that operate or maintain industrial facilities — including university engineering labs, water treatment plants, and public works departments — where cable manufacturing, rewiring, or maintenance operations require precision die-cutting or forming tools. The issuing bodies under this code span research universities and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving broad multi-jurisdictional public-sector networks. The scope of work is narrow and specialized, reflecting the technical requirements of cable production and infrastructure maintenance rather than routine procurement.

Recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation under this code. The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point issued an RFB (Solicitation 2026STPALL01275RFB, due April 16, 2026) for upgrades to two stock tanks in a pilot paper machine laboratory, including installation of false bottoms and automatic drain valves — a project related to paper processing rather than cabling dies. Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota's local government cooperative, posted an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multi-state participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, as well as jurisdictions across the United States and Canada — but the actual scope covers law enforcement gear, not cabling tooling. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the two posted opportunities appear misaligned with the nominal scope of cabling dies and do not indicate active demand for this equipment category in state and local procurement right now.
