UNSPSC 23291901: Boring head

UNSPSC 23291901 Boring head is a Commodity code that covers drilling and machining tool components used in manufacturing and equipment maintenance across state and local agencies. State and local governments procure boring heads as part of capital equipment upgrades, facility improvements, and laboratory equipment maintenance. The issuing bodies range from university systems and cooperative purchasing authorities to county and regional entities. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based state and local cooperative purchasing organization, actively solicits equipment components on behalf of participating jurisdictions and public entities across multiple states, including Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and numerous others nationwide. University systems such as the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point also source these components for laboratory and pilot-scale equipment upgrades in specialized facilities.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a response due June 16, 2026, represents a broad cooperative procurement framework accessible to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada, though the primary issuing bodies listed are Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions. The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point's IFB 2026-STPALL-01275-RFB, posted March 19, 2026 with bids due April 16, 2026, sought boring-head-related components (false bottom and automatic drain valve installation for stock tanks in a pilot paper machine laboratory) and required mandatory pre-bid attendance on March 26, 2026. The Wisconsin solicitation represents institutional procurement by academic research facilities, while the Sourcewell opportunity reflects multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing that aggregates demand across law enforcement and general government operations.
