UNSPSC 23251814: Drawing die

Device used in wire and cable manufacturing which reduces diameter of input wire through continuous"drawing" or pulling operation, thus stretching and transforming metal to produce smaller diameter wire.

UNSPSC 23251814 Drawing die is a Commodity code that captures specialized tooling and metalworking equipment used in manufacturing and industrial operations. State and local governments procure drawing dies as components of broader equipment needs — typically as part of larger capital projects, laboratory upgrades, or equipment system overhauls. The issuing bodies span educational institutions (university research and teaching laboratories), county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdiction law enforcement and public-sector procurement. The code sees activity across higher education institutions managing laboratory infrastructure alongside government procurement cooperatives consolidating equipment purchases across thousands of public entities.

Recent opportunities show University of Wisconsin Stevens Point soliciting an IFB (Solicitation 2026-STPALL-01275-RFB, due April 16, 2026) for paper machine stock tank upgrades including false bottoms and automatic drain valves for pilot laboratory equipment, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit on March 26, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle acting on behalf of multiple Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and broader participating entities, issued an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Wisconsin and Washington dominate the recent record; the cooperative structure extends reach across multiple states. The code shows limited recent activity specifically aligned to drawing-die procurement, with the tagged opportunities reflecting broader equipment and systems integration rather than specialized die manufacturing.
