UNSPSC 23271502: Induction brazing machine

Induction brazing is when the parts are loaded with filler metal and placed near the induction coils for rapid heating.

UNSPSC 23271502 Induction brazing machine is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses welding equipment, supplies, and installation services rather than specialized brazing machinery alone. State and local governments are purchasing welding materials (rods, electrodes, sheets, tubes, pipes in steel and stainless steel), extraction and ventilation systems for welding labs, and integrated CNC and plasma cutting equipment for vocational and educational training programs. Issuing bodies include community college districts, county school boards, and state juvenile corrections facilities. Collin College and Collin County Community College District have posted multiple ITBs for three-year contracts covering welding materials and supplies with estimated annual volumes near $400,000 each; Mt. San Antonio Community College District solicited purchase and installation of flexible vent extraction arms for a welding lab; the School Board of Polk County, Florida requested CNC training equipment with tooling and warranty; and the Texas Juvenile Justice Department issued an IFB for a plasma cutting table system with software and installation services for a state correctional facility's vocational program.
