UNSPSC 23291703: Solid reamer

UNSPSC 23291703 Solid reamer is a Commodity code with a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a precision cutting tool, but the most-recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for reamers or related machining tools. Instead, recent state and local activity under this code consists of Texas A&M University System bids for industrial production equipment—CNC routers, press brakes, and 3D printers—none of which align with the reamer commodity. A single cooperative purchasing opportunity appears in the block: Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and other participating public entities, which also bears no relationship to reamer tools or the code's stated commodity scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be miscoded across these opportunities.

The geographic spread of activity is concentrated in Texas (Texas A&M University System's multiple ITBs posted in September and October 2026 with response dates ranging from September 24 through October 29) and Washington state (Sourcewell's May 2026 cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment). The Texas opportunities span industrial CNC routers, press brakes, and 3D printers; the Sourcewell RFP establishes a framework for law enforcement equipment across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. Bidders on the Texas A&M solicitations must submit responses exclusively through the AggieBid electronic platform by the posted deadlines; technical questions flow through Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. The Sourcewell opportunity requires proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by June 16, 2026, with inquiries directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov.
