UNSPSC 23300000: Wire machinery and equipment

Various types of machines and equipment used in the manufacture of wiring and wiring assemblies

UNSPSC 23300000 Wire machinery and equipment is a Family code that encompasses industrial machinery for metalworking, material handling, and fluid management—specifically CNC routers, press brakes, valve exercisers, pumps, and related equipment that state and local governments acquire for operational and maintenance programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect heavy acquisition by university systems, water authorities, counties, and transit districts for equipment ranging from industrial fabrication tools to water-system valve maintenance and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

Texas A&M University System has emerged as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for press brakes (TAMUSITB270545, TAMUSITB270548, TAMUSITB270546) through the AggieBid procurement platform with response dates in late September and October 2026. Sacramento County Water Agency solicited a gasoline-powered valve exerciser under RFB 2026-RFB-0104 (responses due October 30, 2026) with emissions-reduction weighting and local-business preference applied; the specification named Wachs equipment as the standard with equivalents permitted. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources issued sealed bids for pump-station grinder replacement (PE77023NONST2027000000778, responses due November 20, 2026) and earlier for the same scope (PE77023NONST2027000000698, responses due September 23, 2026), signaling repeat procurement cycles for water-treatment capital equipment. Orange County, Florida solicited design-build services for a chilled-water system upgrade at the Convention Center (RFP Y26-805-RC, responses due October 15, 2026) valued at $77.1 million total project cost. DeKalb County, Georgia issued a multiyear ITB for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves for pipeline systems (ITB 2026-034-ITB, responses due August 27, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas (Austin, Houston region via H-GAC and Sourcewell platforms), Georgia (Gwinnett and DeKalb counties), Florida (Sacramento and Orange counties), and California (Sacramento County Water Agency), with Sourcewell cooperative purchasing expanding reach across multiple states including Washington, Arizona, and Minnesota.
