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, but state and local opportunities recently posted under this code span equipment acquisition and maintenance across machining, fabrication, and specialized industrial processes — CNC systems, wire electrical discharge machines (EDM), shearing machines, and related tooling and parts. The source shows no solicitations explicitly requesting induction heating equipment; instead, the code's recent activity reflects broader capital acquisitions in precision machining, training, and equipment maintenance by higher education institutions, state agencies, and school districts. Texas A&M University System dominates the recent posting volume with three ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC lathe systems, CNC equipment, and machine shop and welding fabrication equipment. The scope of work under the code encompasses both new equipment procurement and spare parts supply — original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts for machines already in service, integrated training systems with simulator and tooling kits, and installation, training, and warranty support.

The geographic concentration centers on Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in California and Illinois. Texas A&M University (three ITBs), Texas Department of Transportation (two IFBs for Cincinnati Shear machine OEM parts posted May and June 2026), and Texas State Technical College (one RFP for wire EDM equipment, posted March 2026) account for the bulk of named opportunities. Hillsborough County Water Resources Department in Tampa, Florida issued a sole-source notice of intent for Komptech equipment maintenance and parts valued at $1,992,824.18 over five years (June 2026). The State of California posted an RFB for a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (June 2026) and a shearing machine (February 2026). School Board of Polk County, Florida requested a comprehensive CNC training solution in April 2026, and School District U-46 in Illinois solicited heat pump replacement (February 2026), which sits outside the code's nominal scope. All opportunities use electronic procurement platforms (AggieBid for Texas A&M, Euna Procurement for TxDOT, Vendorlink for Polk County, Bonfire for Illinois). No current federal cooperative vehicle activity appears in the source, though Sourcewell (State of Minnesota) posted an RFP for law enforcement equipment (May 2026) available to participating jurisdictions nationwide.
