UNSPSC 23291902: Rough boring tool

UNSPSC 23291902 Rough boring tool is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity with minimal connection to its abstract category name. Recent solicitations tagged under this code show no purchasing of boring tools or similar machine tooling; instead, the code has been applied to law enforcement equipment procurement and laboratory equipment upgrades. The source records do not demonstrate a coherent category of work being consistently bought under this code by state and local governments, and the two identified opportunities—a cooperative law enforcement equipment framework and a university tank upgrade—bear no relationship to rough boring or similar cutting tools.

The geographic spread captured in recent activity spans Minnesota (Sourcewell, the contracting cooperative), Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties participating in the Sourcewell RFP), and Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin Stevens Point). Activity appears scattered across state agencies, county governments, and higher education institutions rather than concentrated in any single jurisdiction type. The two representative recent opportunities are Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, and the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point's IFB 2026STPALL01275RFB for paper machine stock tank upgrades, due April 16, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; vendors pursuing this category should verify current category usage with issuing bodies before responding to opportunities tagged under it.
