UNSPSC 23271803: Desoldering braid

UNSPSC 23271803 Desoldering braid, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code are almost entirely for welding materials, supplies, and equipment—welding rods, MIG and TIG consumables, wire, electrodes, gloves, and face shields—or for welding services and infrastructure work such as track welding and vent extraction installation. Desoldering braid, a soldering and desoldering consumable used in electronics repair and rework, does not appear in any of the recent solicitations. The issuing bodies span community colleges (Collin College), school districts (Northside Independent School District in Bexar County, Texas), a transit authority (Charlotte Area Transit System), and another community college district (Mt. San Antonio Community College District in California), but none of these organizations reference electronics soldering or desoldering work in their posted opportunities. The code appears to be a mistagging artifact.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and California. Collin College in Collin County, Texas posted two welding-materials ITBs (FY2024ITB020 and FY2024ITB024) for three-year contracts with estimated annual procurement of approximately $400,000; Northside Independent School District in Bexar County, Texas issued IFB 2026-054 for welding consumables and safety equipment on an as-needed basis with a one-year term and one renewal option. Mt. San Antonio Community College District in Walnut, California posted a $150,000 IFB for purchase and installation of flexible vent extraction arms for a Welding Lab (2026067) with a bid due date of July 16, 2026. Charlotte Area Transit System in North Carolina is pursuing Blue Line track welding services (269202619503) with proposals due August 20, 2026. The code shows no recent opportunities for desoldering braid, soldering consumables, or electronics assembly and repair work.
