UNSPSC 23281601: Induction heating machine

The part to be heat-treated is heated rapidly by the electromagnetic field generated by an induction coil carrying alternating current, which induces eddy currents in the part. The coil may be shaped to fit the contour of the part and may be designed to also quench the part.

UNSPSC 23281601 Induction heating machine is a Commodity code that covers fabrication and metalworking equipment, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show limited direct match; most activity centers on press brakes, CNC equipment, and machine-shop machinery that serve manufacturing, maintenance, and capital-equipment needs in educational and transportation agencies. The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) dominates recent procurement volume under related industrial-equipment codes, issuing multiple ITBs for press brakes, CNC lathes, machining centers, and general machine-shop and welding equipment between June and October 2026. Issuing bodies include state university systems, departments of transportation, county environmental and water-resources departments, and law-enforcement cooperative purchasing vehicles; educational institutions appear most active as repeat buyers of fabrication equipment for on-campus machine shops and maintenance operations. The Texas Department of Transportation also solicits regularly for OEM replacement parts and specialized equipment such as Cincinnati shear machines, though these are repair and parts rather than new-equipment procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, with TAMUS issuing the bulk of recent ITBs, complemented by TxDOT procurements and secondary activity from California state agencies and Florida counties. The most recent representative opportunities include TAMUS ITB TAMUS-ITB-27-0548 for a press brake (due October 29, 2026), TAMUS ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 for machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment (due July 15, 2026), and TxDOT's June 2026 IFB for OEM replacement parts for a Cincinnati shear machine; all are submitted electronically through vendor-specific platforms (AggieBid for TAMUS, Euna Procurement for TxDOT). Response deadlines are typically 7–30 days post-posting. Hillsborough County, Florida also solicited maintenance and parts for Komptech composting and separation equipment (estimated $1.99 million over five years, due June 25, 2026, sole-source notice); California issued an RFB for a water-table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (due June 15, 2026). Contract values and detailed specifications are typically housed in vendor portals and not disclosed in public notices.
