UNSPSC 27111607: Swaging tools

UNSPSC 27111607 Swaging tools is a Commodity code that encompasses hand tools, equipment, and replacement parts used in metal fabrication, shaping, and machining operations within state and local government facilities. State and local solicitations under this code reflect actual purchases of CNC equipment, press brakes, machine-shop fabrication systems, and original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts for industrial machinery—not swaging-specific tooling alone. The issuing bodies are primarily higher-education institutions and state departments; Texas A&M University System appears repeatedly as a buyer of CNC equipment and press brakes, while the Texas Department of Transportation solicits OEM parts for industrial machinery. The scope spans routine maintenance parts (bearings, seals, gaskets, fasteners, and assemblies) through to capital equipment acquisitions (press brakes, CNC lathes, and machining centers). One county government, Hillsborough County in Florida, solicited maintenance and parts for composting equipment under an exclusive-dealer sole-source notice. Procurement notices are issued as Invitations for Bid (ITB), Requests for Bid (RFB), and sole-source procurements; cooperative purchasing vehicles also use this code for multi-jurisdictional law-enforcement-equipment solicitations.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, where Texas A&M University System posted multiple ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC equipment (ITB-26-0540 due July 13, 2026), machine-shop and fabrication equipment (ITB-26-0541 due July 15, 2026), a CNC lathe and machining center (ITB-26-0542 due July 23, 2026), and press brakes (ITB-27-0545 due September 25, 2026, and ITB-27-0548 due October 29, 2026). Texas Department of Transportation issued two consecutive IFBs for OEM Cincinnati Shear machine replacement parts (601440000052666 due April 16, 2026, and 601440000053313 due June 2, 2026), both structured as best-value procurements allowing multiple bid preferences under Texas Administrative Code. The State of California posted an RFB for a water-table CNC plasma cutter (RFB-IS-26201000 due June 11 or June 15, 2026, depending on source record). Hillsborough County, Florida issued a sole-source notice of intent for five-year maintenance and parts ($1,992,824.18 estimated value) on Komptech composting equipment at the SE Landfill in Tampa (SS2600306, challenge deadline June 25, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, solicited law enforcement equipment on behalf of Washington-state counties and other participating entities (RFP 061626 due June 16, 2026). All Texas A&M and TxDOT solicitations direct vendors to electronic platforms (AggieBid or Euna Procurement/Bonfire). Addenda, Q&A records, and full specifications are posted exclusively on issuing-body procurement portals; contract values, incumbent vendor information, and detailed technical requirements are generally not disclosed in the public-notice abstracts.
