UNSPSC 23271602: Induction soldering machine

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

UNSPSC 23271602 Induction soldering machine (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent solicitations show no induction soldering machines being purchased; instead, Oregon Department of Transportation, Mt. San Antonio Community College District, Dalton Public Schools, and Collin College are soliciting plasma cutting tables, flexible vent extraction arms for welding labs, and multi-year blanket contracts for welding materials and supplies including rods, electrodes, flat bars, sheets, tubes, and pipes. State and local governments are buying welding-focused infrastructure, consumables, and metalworking equipment—not induction soldering hardware. The code shows minimal recent relevant activity for the product category it nominally represents.

The issuing bodies are education-focused and transportation agencies, spanning Oregon, California, Georgia, and Texas. ODOT's Bend Shop is pursuing a single 6'×12' CNC plasma table with 90-day delivery and 6-year warranty requirements (RFCQ S7300000018052, due October 29, 2026). Mt. San Antonio Community College is installing 47 flexible vent extraction arms in its welding lab with a $150,000 Engineer's Base Bid Estimate and 3% DVBE participation goal (IFB 2026067, due July 16, 2026). Dalton Public Schools is acquiring four pieces of welding lab equipment including one plasma cutter and nine MIG welders (IFB PE55294NONST2027000000018, due September 25, 2026). Collin College and Collin County Community College District each maintain multi-vendor, three-year blanket contracts for welding materials with estimated annual volumes around $400,000, awarding based on price (35% weight), references, quality, and total cost of ownership.
