UNSPSC 23290000: Industrial machine tools

A machine tool is a machine for handling or machining metal or other rigid materials, usually by cutting, boring, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformations. Machine tools employ some sort of tool that does the cutting or shaping.

UNSPSC 23290000 Industrial machine tools is a Family code that spans equipment and component procurement for manufacturing, maintenance, and infrastructure operations at state and local agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a mix of specialized equipment acquisitions—from walk-in freezers and mini excavators to electrical components and industrial machinery parts—reflecting diverse operational needs across public agencies. County and municipal governments issue the bulk of bids under this code, with Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Connecticut showing the most recent activity. A pre-qualified vendor list procurement from Palm Beach County and multiple equipment-purchase invitations from smaller municipalities and county departments characterize the issuing-body mix; no single buyer dominates, though counties appear more frequently than state departments.

Recent solicitations span narrow, mission-specific needs. Gwinnett County (Georgia) issued a sealed bid (BL109-26) on July 8, 2026, closing August 7, 2026, for a Sheriff's Office Freezer #8 replacement including concrete work and electrical modifications. Hillsborough County (Florida) conducted competitive bids for a Wacker Neuson plate compactor (ITQ-26-00200) closing March 20, 2026, and for Weidmuller power supplies (ITB-26-00117) closing February 18, 2026, both small-dollar, single-unit or limited-quantity procurements. Colquitt County (Georgia) bid a new track-type mini excavator with five-year warranty (ITB due July 28, 2026). Palm Beach County has an active pre-qualified vendor list (RPQ68023009CC15, extended to February 7, 2028) for industrial machinery components including bearings, belts, couplings, and gears on an as-needed basis, with a 5% local preference and S/M/WBE set-asides. The code attracts straightforward equipment supply work rather than complex industrial services; dollars are typically modest at the individual-bid level, though pre-qual and blanket-purchase structures create sustained relationships.
