UNSPSC 23291800: Industrial threading tools

UNSPSC 23291800 Industrial threading tools is a Class code that covers machinery, parts, and services for precision metalworking equipment—particularly CNC machines, electrical discharge machines, and shearing equipment—not traditional handheld threading implements. State and local governments solicit under this code for capital equipment acquisition, replacement parts for manufacturing systems, and integrated training solutions. Recent opportunities from Texas A&M University, Texas State Technical College, and the School Board of Polk County reflect demand for CNC lathes, machining centers, wire electrical discharge machines, CNC training systems with simulators and tooling kits, and OEM replacement parts for production equipment such as Cincinnati Shear machines. Issuing bodies include higher-education institutions (particularly community colleges and research universities), state transportation agencies, and K-12 school districts with vocational or technical programs. The code also captures sole-source maintenance and parts agreements—Hillsborough County's five-year composting equipment maintenance contract with Powerscreen of Florida, valued at $1,992,824.18, exemplifies the durability-goods repair and parts segment under this classification.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Texas A&M University System, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas State Technical College, and Polk County, Florida) with sporadic activity in California and Minnesota-anchored cooperative purchasing frameworks. Recent solicitations include Texas A&M University's ITBs for a CNC lathe and machining center (TAMUSITB260542, due July 23, 2026), machine shop and fabrication equipment (TAMUSITB260541, due July 15, 2026), and CNC equipment (TAMUSITB260540, due July 13, 2026); Texas Department of Transportation's IFB for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines (601440000053313, due June 2, 2026); the School Board of Polk County's request for vendor response for CNC training systems including desktop mills, lathes, control simulators, and tooling (SS15MJ0426, due March 24, 2026); and Texas State Technical College's RFP for Wire EDM machines and transformers (RFP-315, due March 11, 2026). Sourcewell, on behalf of multiple Washington and Minnesota counties, is issuing an RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026), and California has posted competitive bid solicitations for water table CNC plasma cutters and shearing machines. All procurement notices require electronic submission through issuer-specific platforms such as AggieBid, Euna Procurement, or Sourcewell's portal.
