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 machine shop equipment, precision machining systems, and related production machinery that state and local governments procure for educational, manufacturing, and operational support. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on CNC equipment (lathes, mills, and machining centers), Wire Electrical Discharge Machines (Wire EDM), shearing machines, composting equipment parts and maintenance, and OEM replacement parts for existing production machinery. Issuing bodies include university systems (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College), state departments (Texas Department of Transportation, California), county governments (Hillsborough County), school districts (Polk County Schools), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties). Texas A&M University System appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple recent ITBs for CNC equipment, machining centers, and fabrication systems.

Recent opportunities span Texas, California, Florida, and Washington, with the highest concentration in Texas driven by university system and state transportation procurements. Representative recent solicitations include Texas A&M University System's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center (due July 23, 2026), ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 for machine shop and welding equipment (due July 15, 2026), and ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0540 for CNC equipment (due July 13, 2026), all managed through the AggieBid platform; Texas Department of Transportation's IFB 601440000053313 for OEM replacement parts for a Cincinnati Shear machine (due June 2, 2026); Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement SS2600306 with Powerscreen of Florida for five years of maintenance, repairs, and parts for composting equipment valued at $1,992,824.18; and Polk County Schools' vendor response request for comprehensive CNC training equipment and support services (due March 24, 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) represents a multi-jurisdiction purchasing vehicle with participation from Washington state counties and availability to thousands of public entities nationwide.
