UNSPSC 23271606: Selective soldering machine

A type of machine used to selectively solder individual or multiple components to printed circuit boards

UNSPSC 23271606 Selective soldering machine (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The Oregon Department of Transportation solicited a CNC plasma cutting table system for fleet repair work—a metal-cutting tool rather than a selective soldering machine—and several school districts and community colleges posted requests for welding lab equipment, flexible vent extraction arms, and general welding supplies. Only the Dalton Public Schools bid explicitly named a plasma cutter and welding equipment for educational use, but none of the recent opportunities match the specialized selective soldering application the code describes. The mix of issuing bodies spans state transportation departments, community college districts, and K–12 school systems, but they are sourcing capital equipment and consumables for welding and metal fabrication training or maintenance operations rather than soldering-specific machinery.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, California, Texas, and Georgia based on the recent postings. The Oregon Department of Transportation's RFCQ for a plasma table (due October 29, 2026) represents the most current solicitation, followed by Mt. San Antonio Community College District's bid for flexible vent extraction arms in Walnut, California (due July 16, 2026), Dalton Public Schools' welding lab equipment bid in Georgia (due September 25, 2026), and two Collin College / Collin County Community College District welding materials contracts in Texas. The code does not demonstrate a clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated procurement demand; opportunities appear scattered across education and state agency customer bases. No vendor names, dollar awards, or performance data are available for recent procurements under this code.
