UNSPSC 23291900: Industrial boring tools

UNSPSC 23291900 Industrial boring tools is a Class code covering precision machining and metalworking equipment that state and local governments procure for educational programs, production facilities, and equipment maintenance operations. Recent solicitations under this code reveal that state educational institutions, university systems, and state transportation departments are actively buying Computer Numerical Control (CNC) equipment—including CNC lathes, machining centers, wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) systems, plasma cutters, and shearing machines—alongside Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts and maintenance services for existing production machinery. The issuing bodies include university systems and technical colleges seeking training equipment and production-ready machines, state departments of transportation procuring parts for in-house equipment repair, county governments arranging maintenance contracts for specialized machinery, and school districts establishing CNC training programs for workforce development. Texas A&M University System appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple ITBs for CNC equipment within a two-week window in late June 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where Texas A&M University System issued three consecutive ITBs—for CNC equipment (due July 13, 2026), machine shop and fabrication equipment (due July 15, 2026), and a CNC lathe and machining center (due July 23, 2026)—all through the AggieBid platform. The Texas Department of Transportation has solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines on multiple occasions (IFBs posted in May and June 2026, due dates April and June 2026). In Florida, Hillsborough County announced a five-year sole-source maintenance contract valued at $1,992,824.18 with Powerscreen of Florida, Inc. for Komptech composting equipment parts and service (notice posted June 17, 2026, challenges due June 25, 2026). Texas State Technical College issued an RFP for wire EDM machines with a one-year base term and four optional renewals, valued above $100,000, due March 11, 2026. California posted an RFB for a water table CNC Hypertherm plasma cutter (due June 11 or June 15, 2026) and an RFB for a shearing machine (due March 10, 2026). The School Board of Polk County, Florida solicited a comprehensive CNC training solution including desktop and industrial CNC equipment with tooling, training, and warranty services, with responses due March 24, 2026.
