UNSPSC 23271605: Reflow oven

A machine used for reflow soldering of components to printed circuit boards.

UNSPSC 23271605 Reflow oven is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are predominantly welding materials, supplies, and equipment procurements — flat bars, sheets, tubes, pipes, welding rods, tungsten electrodes, and flexible vent extraction arms — along with CNC training equipment and plasma cutting systems. None of these solicitations involve reflow ovens, which are precision soldering and thermal-processing devices used in electronics manufacturing and repair. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied in these jurisdictions' tagging systems or sees minimal relevant procurement activity in the state and local market today.

The opportunities that do appear under this code come from Texas community colleges (Collin College District), California community colleges (Mt. San Antonio), Florida school districts (Polk County), and a Texas state agency (Texas Juvenile Justice Department). Collin College issued two separate ITBs for welding materials and supplies in 2024, each seeking three-year multi-vendor contracts with approximately $400,000 annual procurement volume. Mt. San Antonio Community College District solicited installation of flexible vent extraction arms in a welding lab (RFQ 2026067, due July 16, 2026, with an engineer's estimate of $150,000). The Polk County School Board requested CNC training equipment (vendor response request SS15MJ0426). The Texas Juvenile Justice Department issued an IFB for a plasma cutting table system (IFBGIDPLASMACUTTER, due February 9, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Texas and California, with one Florida procurement. No opportunities show explicit procurement of reflow ovens or closely related thermal processing equipment.
