UNSPSC 23291500: Industrial drilling tools

Includes machine tools for drilling applicable to two or more industry sectors

UNSPSC 23291500 Industrial drilling tools is a Class code that encompasses fabrication and machine-shop equipment, replacement parts for industrial machinery, and related mechanical components. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that governments are buying press brakes, CNC equipment and lathes, machining centers, plasma cutters, machine-shop and welding equipment, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts for specialized industrial machinery (such as Cincinnati shear machines and Komptech composting equipment), and ironworker positions or related fabrication services. The issuing bodies include university systems, state departments of transportation, state procurement offices, counties, and special-purpose districts. The Texas A&M University System appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for press brakes and CNC equipment over a three-month window. Hillsborough County in Florida has issued a sole-source procurement notice for five-year maintenance and parts support for composting equipment, indicating sustained demand for equipment-specific service contracts alongside discrete equipment purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The Texas A&M University System posted ITBs for press brakes (due October 29, 2026, and September 25, 2026), a CNC lathe and machining center (due July 23, 2026), CNC equipment (due July 13, 2026), and machine-shop, welding, and fabrication equipment (due July 15, 2026), all through the AggieBid platform. The Texas Department of Transportation has issued two nearly identical IFBs for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati shear machines—one in June 2026 (due June 2, 2026) and an earlier version in May 2026 (due April 16, 2026)—both requiring delivery to the Production Shop in Austin. The State of California issued an RFB for a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (due June 15, 2026) and a second RFB with unspecified scope (due August 17, 2026). A Hillsborough County sole-source notice for Komptech composting equipment maintenance and parts (estimated total value $1,992,824.18 over five years, due June 25, 2026, for challenge submission) and a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) round out the geographic spread. Response dates cluster between April and October 2026.
