UNSPSC 23271809: Soldering tip

UNSPSC 23271809 Soldering tip is a Commodity code that appears in recent state and local solicitations primarily as a miscoding or tangential reference within broader welding equipment and infrastructure procurements, rather than as a discrete product being actively purchased. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show state and local governments buying welding lab equipment, materials, supplies, and services — including vent extraction arm installation, plasma cutters, welding machines, materials contracts spanning rods and electrodes, and track welding maintenance — but none explicitly target soldering tips as a line item or consumable. The issuing bodies across these opportunities include community colleges (Mt. San Antonio Community College District, Collin College, Collin County Community College District), school districts (Dalton Public Schools), and transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests the code does not currently drive material purchase volume in state and local procurement.

Activity appears across California, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina based on recent postings. Mt. San Antonio Community College District posted IFB 2026067 for flexible vent extraction arm purchase and installation with a response date of July 16, 2026 and an Engineer's Base Bid Estimate of $150,000. Dalton Public Schools posted an RFB for welding lab equipment (plasma cutter, saw, and nine welding machine units) due September 25, 2026. Collin College and Collin County Community College District each posted three-year welding materials and supplies contracts (FY2024-ITB-020 and FY2024-ITB-024) with estimated annual procurement volumes of approximately $400,000 and multi-vendor award structures. Charlotte Area Transit System posted RFP 269202619503 for Blue Line track welding services maintenance and repair due August 20, 2026. The code shows no concentrated activity under soldering tips specifically and appears to be a low-activity or misclassified category in recent state and local procurement.
